... Schwartzie and his biceps are at the top of their game in this action-sci-fi

Plot Summary:
An elite paramilitary rescue team led by Dutch goes on a mission
in a Central American rainforest. During their operation, they
discover they are being hunted by a technologically advanced,
extraterrestrial warrior. The film follows the team's fight for
survival against this formidable foe, which hunts them for
sport.
Dad's Preview:
The ascension of Arnold Schwarzenegger from Austrian youth to
body builder to action hero is amazing - talk about the American
Dream. Part of his movie career success was his superb choices
of material... namely the Terminator films. This sci-fi action
film was so creative that it would go on to spawn a slew of
sequels (none with Arnold). Predator begins as an action movie, but quickly turns into
something else entirely - an alien collector hunting human heads. The energy from this film is incredible. Hold onto your
head.
