The original Predator is set to head back to cinemas this November, 30 years after it first hit screens back in 1987. The Predator re-release comes ahead of the new sequel from Shane Black, which is set for screens in 2018, and frankly, we couldn’t be more excited. More about the chance to see the classic on the big-screen below.
Predator re-release planned for November 2017.
Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger) leads an elite squad of U.S. Army commandos to a remote region of the South American jungle, where they have been assigned to search for officials who have been kidnapped by guerrilla terrorists.
At first, it seems like any other mission: Dutch and his team of seasoned combat veterans spot a guerrilla camp, destroy it, and discover that the men they were sent to rescue have been executed. But when Dutch attempts to lead his unit out, something horrifying and inexplicable begins to happen. One by one the men are killed by a mysterious adversary – a Predator from another world.
