Predators (2010)

Predators is an American science fiction horror film directed by Nimród Antal and produced by Robert Rodriguez. It is the third film in the Predator, alternatively known as Predator 3. It follows the events of not only the 1990 film, Predator 2, but also the two franchise crossover films Alien vs. Predator and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. The film was released theatrically in the United States on July 9th, 2010 by Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. The film stars Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Walton Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali and Danny Trejo. The film takes place on an unidentified alien world which serves as a game preserve for the alien hunter-killer species known as the Predators. The cast members, all of whom hail from a variety of physical backgrounds find themselves literally dropped on this world where they are to be hunted for sport. Royce, Edwin, Isabelle, Hanzo, Stans and Nikolai come upon Noland - a man who has been marooned on this world for some time, who explains the situation to them. One by one, they find themselves being picked off by the Predators and are firmly entrenched in a tribal war between two rival species of aliens.
