With the release of Predator in 1987, audiences were introduced to the iconic extraterrestrial hunter for the first time. Set in the dense jungles of Central America, the film follows an elite team of commandos on a mission that quickly turns into a fight for survival against an unseen enemy. This classic not only solidified the Predator as a cornerstone of sci-fi horror but also laid the groundwork for a new kind of interstellar conflict.
