Prey, currently available on Hulu for streaming, features the long-haired, helmet-wearing alien known as the Predator.
Prey, the fifth Predator movie, is a prequel to the first four movies in the series and is set on the Northern Great Plains of North America in the year 1719. The main character in Prey lacks access to heavy weapons and explosives, in contrast to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s machine-gun-wielding character in the first film. She is a Comanche Nation lady named Naru (played by Amber Midhunter), a skillful hunter who yearns to show the males in her society that she is a warrior.
And, hey, what is a better way to demonstrate her mettle than to defeat the enigmatic danger that has been putting the buffalo to death? Since this film is a prequel, you don’t need to have recently seen the previous Predator films to follow along. However, it wouldn’t hurt to review the Predator filmography since creators Patrick Aison and Dan Trachtenberg undoubtedly left some amusing Easter eggs for ardent followers.
Plot
Major Alan “Dutch” Schaefer, a veteran of the Vietnam War, and his military rescue team—Mac, Poncho, Blain, Billy, and Hawkins—are sent to Earth by an alien spacecraft to rescue a foreign cabinet minister and his aide from assailants. Despite Dutch’s protests, the squad is assigned to travel with CIA agent Al Dillon, a friend from the Vietnam War.
While traveling, the squad comes across three skinned bodies and the remains of a chopper. Dutch recognizes them as Green Berets he was familiar with, and he questions Dillon’s motives. When the crew gets to the guerilla camp, they see a hostage being killed. They launch an assault, killing the majority of the rebels as well as a number of Soviet intelligence agents.
