What happens
Alien vs. Predator (stylized on-screen as AVP: Alien vs. Predator) is a 2004 American science fiction action horror film and the first installment in the Alien vs. Predator franchise. It is written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, and stars Sanaa Lathan, Raoul Bova, Lance Henriksen, Ewen Bremner, Colin Salmon, and Tommy Flanagan. In the film, scientists are caught in the crossfire of an ancient battle between Aliens and Predators as they attempt to escape a bygone Antarctic pyramid. It adapts a crossover bringing together the creatures of the Alien and Predator series, a concept which originated in a 1989 comic book written by Randy Stradley and Chris Warner. Anderson wrote the story, with the creators of the Alien franchise, Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett receiving additional story credit due to the incorporation of elements from the Alien series, and Anderson and Shane Salerno adapted the story into a screenplay. Their writing was influenced by Aztec mythology, the comic book series, and the writings of Erich von Däniken. Alien vs. Predator was theatrically released by 20th Century Fox on 13 August 2004. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $177.4 million worldwide against a production budget of $60–70 million. A sequel, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, was released in 2007. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
