What happens

Predators is a 2010 American science fiction action film directed by Nimród Antal and written by Alex Litvak and Michael Finch. It is the third installment in the Predator franchise and features an ensemble cast, including Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins, and Laurence Fishburne. The film follows a group of proficient killers who have been abducted and placed on a planet inhabited by extraterrestrial trophy hunters, leading them to try to survive and look for a way back to Earth. Producer Robert Rodriguez had developed a script for a third installment as early as 1994 after seeing the original film, although it was not until 2009 that 20th Century Fox greenlit the project. According to Rodriguez, the title Predators is an allusion to the film Aliens (1986). The title also has a double meaning, referring both to the extraterrestrial Predator hunters and to the group of human characters who are pitted against them. Filming took place in locations including Hawaii and Austin, Texas from September 2009 and lasted 53 days. Predators was released in the United States on July 9, 2010, by 20th Century Fox. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $127 million against a $40 million budget. A fourth film, The Predator, was released in 2018. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
