Predator is a 1987 science fiction movie directed by John McTiernan and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Bill Duke, Sonny Landham, Elpidia Carrillo, Richard Chaves and Jesse Ventura.

Energetic and full of machismo, the movie was successful enough ($60 m in the US alone) to generate a sequel, Predator 2, in 1990.

Sent on a mission into the jungles of Colombia, an elite military unit find themselves battling a powerful alien hunter (Kevin Peter Hall) with a neat line in weapons and near invisibility.

An interesting fact about Predator is that three of the movie's stars went on to become gubernatorial candidates, two of whom won.

There is also a series of comics, computer games and a movie that connects Predator with the Alien series, called Alien Vs. Predator.
