Turn On Subtitles and Spoilers Ahead!
In the middle of the day, an alien spaceship falls to earth. The spaceship is led by a
large alien called Predator by the humans. Meanwhile, a sniper named Quinn McKenna is
on a secret mission. He must rescue hostages captured by a drug cartel. Quinn has the target
in his gun sights, he just has to pull the trigger but is distracted for a moment by
the spaceship. Despite this, he kills the target, but he is in danger because the spaceship
has fallen right next to his firing position. After exploding, shrapnel from the spaceship
covered a large area, and Quinn had to jump to survive. After waking up he saw everything
around him burning and after a while, he found a part of the spaceship and immediately realized
that it was not human work. While he was admiring the mask of the alien he was surprised by
his colleague Dupree. Quinn knew that no one would believe his words, so he took the mask
as evidence. The mask wasn't the only toy he found, in fact, there was a type of weapon
that was applied to the forearm. As soon as Quinn put it on his forearm, it adjusted to
the size of his arm. In the meantime, they hear some strange noises, but they can't see
anything. Suddenly, a team member is hanging upside down. With half his head cut off and
deformed, not to mention his body full of deep cuts. As they look shocked at their colleague,
The Predator appears for a moment and disappears again. In fact, he could turn invisible on
command. They started shooting, but to no avail, they couldn't see him clearly. As Quinn
was trying to get up, the weapon on his forearm activated and some sort of blade in the shape
of a circle flew aimed at the alien. With one blow, the blade wound the alien and cut
the hanging soldier's body into parts. The soldier's blood began to flow and coat the
alien's face. Quinn used the opportunity to escape and grabbed his backpack with the evidence
and ran off. As he left, he discovered another ability of the technology on his arm. He pulled
out a seemingly iron ball, but Quinn still didn't know what it was.
Meanwhile, government agent Will Traeger along with his team arrived to find the alien. The
next day Quinn decided to send the things found on the spaceship to his son Rory McKenna.
At first, the bartender didn't want to help him, but he changed his mind as soon as Quinn
became invisible thanks to the little ball. The police were coming and Quinn decided to
ingest the ball to hide it. Quinn sent the alien's equipment to his son Rory. Rory is
a 12-year-old autistic boy, which is the reason he is often bullied. Rory has very special
abilities, for example, he has an excellent memory. That's why after the bullies threw
chess on the ground, he remembered precisely the place of each. Unfortunately, he can not
stand loud noises. After he arrived home from school, the letter
carrier brought him the package sent by his father. So, an alien has fallen to the earth,
the government has found it, and who could help but a universe enthusiast and scientist?
Traeger also brings the Predator into a laboratory for experimentation and observation, recruiting
evolutionary biologist Casey Bracket to study it. Meanwhile, Quinn, at the behest of government
agent Will Traeger, is captured and held for examination. In truth, because Quinn has seen
the alien, he has become a witness and could put the government in danger. So the goal
is to detain Quinn to keep the truth from coming out. He knew no one would believe him,
which is why he had taken the tools of the Predator. Tools that his son Rory received
it, but Rory doesn't suspect anything, in fact, he thinks it's all a game. Back at Quinn,
McKenna is taken away with a group of other government prisoners, including former Marines
Gaylord "Nebraska" Williams, Coyle, Baxley, Lynch, and Army helicopter pilot Nettles.
At this point, Nebraska wants to know who McKenna was and why he was captured. McKenna,
without hesitation, said directly that he saw an alien. After that, everyone has a big
laugh, as was to be expected. Meanwhile, after scientist Casey is brought
to the lab she discovers that the Predator contains human DNA as part of its genetic
makeup and her main task is to find out why. Why did the Predator also contain some human
DNA? In the meantime, another alien spaceship was flying through the atmosphere. It was
an alien of the same species as Predator. The alien made the spaceship turn invisible
to escape unwanted attention, but Rory managed to deactivate the invisibility believing that
it is all a game. In the meantime another alien was coming to earth, the Predator wakes
up, breaks free, and kills both the lab workers and the armed guards, but spares Bracket,
the only unarmed person. The Predator's strength and abilities were superior to those of humans,
in fact, it threw and cut human beings without any difficulty. As the Predator escapes, it
is seen by the former soldiers on the bus. They thought Quinn was crazy, but now they
have seen the strange creature with their own eyes. They absolutely had to stop him,
but first, they had to get rid of the guards. Coyle began to tease Baxley, the guy with
Tourette's syndrome. After a series of jokes and insults, the guards came in and were disarmed
within seconds. After that, they are thrown off the bus like bags of garbage. Once they
took control of the bus they met Casey Brackett who was following the Predator. Casey jumped
over the bus to shoot the alien, but he was faster than the bus. Quinn does not stay aside
and tries to shoot the Predator with one hand with a shotgun. Not the best weapon at that
distance, but it was the best he had. The Predator at one point turned around and shot
the wheel of the bus, to stop it. Casey, on the other hand, accidentally shot herself
in the foot and paralyzed him. A member of the armed forces was following the bus and
they had to get away, but Quinn didn't wanna leave Casey alone. At first, he planned to
save her, but seeing the armed soldier coming he reconsiders and Casey falls to the ground.
Don't think they left her there alone. They found motorcycles and went back to get her
and stop the soldier who had been ordered to kill her.
In the meantime, a convoy of soldiers was heading towards the laboratory to stop the
Predator. But the latter made their task easier by coming alone to them. In a few moments,
the Predator neutralized all the soldiers inside and when the driver asked if everything
was alright, the Predator took a broken hand from a soldier showed his thumb up. At this
moment you can understand that it was not their first visit to earth. Since he knew
this gesture was used by humans. But by now he wasn't the only alien on earth. The second
one, even taller and bigger, had landed and wanted to find something. In fact, he had
his alien dogs sniff a piece of fabric. The group of former soldiers along with scientist
Casey stopped at a house. At first Casey, after waking up next to a coffee and various
gifts, wanted to leave. But later, she realized they all had the same goal, to stop the Predator.
But they didn't know yet that there was more than one. Suddenly Quinn remembers that he
had sent the Predator's equipment to his son Rory, who would be in danger.
Rory, on the other hand, doesn't suspect a thing; in fact, he put on the mask as a Halloween
costume. Once worn, Rory is able to see many things about the aliens of the Predator species.
Before long, Quinn and the others in the group arrived at the home of his wife Emily, with
whom they were divorced. In the meantime, Rory was out asking for candy as all children
did on Halloween day. Arriving at a house, he rang the door, but no one answered. Shortly
after, a young fellow came out to the balcony and threw an apple at Rory's head, soon after,
the mask activated the self-defense system and tore the guy and the house to pieces.
After that, he took off to a baseball field, while everyone was looking for him to save
him from the Predator. As he stood alone in the lighted field, a dog approached him.
McKenna finds his son just in time to stop a pair of Predator dogs from ambushing the
boy. Apparently, the weapons didn't seem to do too much damage to the alien dogs, except
for a grenade launcher. Quinn fired a grenade directly into a dog's stomach and caused it
to explode. They thought it was over, but they were wrong. The Predator chases them
to a nearby school and they begin to return the Predator's armor when another Predator,
much larger and more powerful, arrives and engages the first in combat. It was 10 feet
tall and frighteningly developed. The smaller alien tried to attack him but he looked like
a child. The group flees and the second Predator kills the first before leaving to retrieve
the lost technology parts. Bracket concludes that predators are attempting to improve themselves
with the DNA of humans and, presumably, inhabitants of other planets. She states that the larger
Predator generates an exoskeleton that makes it highly resistant to damage, even from Predator
technology weapons. Nettles found an alien dog that didn't seem aggressive at all. They
decide to let it live because in a moment it might be useful. The team flees to an abandoned
barn, but Traeger finds and captures them, and shares his theory that the predators predict
that climate change will end their ability to recover human DNA for further hybridization,
and as such are trying to recover samples before it's too late.
Seeing Rory draw a map to the spaceship, Traeger takes the boy away to go to the ship. Quinn
and the team escape and chase after him. First, however, Quinn urgently needs to go to the
bathroom. After that, he retrieved the ball that could make him invisible. Traeger and
his team were already inspecting the ship as they received information about the arrival
of Quinn and the rest of the team. Traeger realizes shortly thereafter that Quinn had
created a diversion, but it was already too late. Quinn, unseen, was inside the spaceship
and neutralized Sapir with a shot in the eye. He left Traeger alive, hitting him with the
weapon. A smart move, because they had to get out and they could only do it with Traeger
as a hostage. Once they got outside, Traeger ordered to shoot Rory's leg if in 10 seconds
Quinn wouldn't lower his weapon. In the meantime, the main Predator had arrived and wounded
poor Lynch. After that, he killed several soldiers and eventually entered the spaceship.
The Predator explains through translation software that he will destroy the ship to
keep it out of their hands and thus give them an advantage before he hunts them down. In
addition, he said he would take the true warrior and leader of them, named McKenna, to take
his DNA. After arranging to run away, the Predator exited the ship and blew it up. The
time to escape was over and the Predator quickly kills several of Traeger's soldiers while
mortally wounding both Baxley and Coyle, who then kill each other. Traeger attempts to
use a Predator weapon on the alien, but accidentally kills himself in the process. The Predator
called out to McKenna and Quinn approached, thinking he was the one he wanted. But the
creature caught him and threw him away. Actually, the Predator wanted Rory, Rory McKenna. The
Predator picks up Rory, recognizing his autism as an advancement in human evolution that
makes him a worthy subject for hybridization, and flies off in his ship. McKenna, Nebraska,
and Nettles land on the outside of the ship, but the Predator activates a force field that
cuts off Nettles' legs, killing him. Nebraska sacrifices himself and slips into the ship's
turbine, causing it to crash. McKenna sneaks into the ship as it crashes
and attacks the Predator. After the crash, Bracket arrives, and the three manage to overpower
and kill the Predator with their own weapons. As a reminder of each member of their team
who had sacrificed themselves to stop the Predator, Quinn kept an object representing
a person in a handkerchief. Sometime later, McKenna and Rory are seen in a science lab
looking at the opening of cargo found on the Predator ship, which a scientist indicates
was left on purpose. A piece of technology floats by and attaches itself to a lab worker,
working as a transformative "Predator killer" suit.
