The iconic monsters from two of the scariest film franchises ever battle each other on Earth in ALIEN VS. PREDATOR. The discovery of an ancient pyramid buried under the Antarctic ice sends a team of scientists and adventurers to the frozen continent. There, they make an even more terrifying discovery: two alien races at war. No matter who wins, we lose.
An incredible and horrific adventure begins when billionaire industrialist Charles Bishop Weyland gathers an international team of archaeologists, scientists and security experts, led by environmentalist and adventurer Alexa “Lex” Woods, to investigate a mysterious “heat bloom” emanating from deep under Antarctica.
What they witness 2000 feet below the frozen surface at first excites, and then terrifies them. They discover a pyramid bearing a mixture of Aztec, Egyptian and Cambodian cultures. Inside the pyramid they find a matrix of chambers so technologically advanced that it becomes obvious that an extraterrestrial influence has been at work there for thousands of years. The chamber walls reconfigure unexpectedly, trapping members of the team and cutting them off from their colleagues.
Moving from chamber to chamber, the horrific truth finally reveals itself: Predators have been keeping alive a captive Alien Queen who lays eggs at 100 year intervals. Young Predators warriors are tested by fighting the Alien offspring. The team stumbles into the middle of an incredible rite of passage - and a war between Aliens and Predators.
In 1979, Twentieth Century Fox released director Ridley Scott's “Alien,” which was hailed by critics and audiences worldwide as a seminal work of science fiction. The film's success spawned a film franchise for the studio, with three more adventures in the saga: James Cameron's “Aliens,” David Fincher's “Alien 3” and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's “Alien Resurrection.”
In 1987, Fox introduced another creature from outer space, “Predator,” directed by John McTiernan and produced by John Davis, about an invisibility-cloaked extra-terrestrial warrior that wreaked havoc in the jungle. (Among the film's cast members were two future Governors: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura.) PREDATOR 2, which followed three years later, raised hell in the urban jungle of Los Angeles.
Now, nearly a quarter-century after the debut of “Alien,” comes ALIEN VS. PREDATOR, one of the most anticipated face-offs in sci-fi film history.
