The story
A group of cold-blooded killers find themselves trapped on an alien planet to be hunted by extraterrestrial Predators.
Predators recap
Royce, a mercenary, wakes up falling through the sky and lands in a jungle with other killers dropped the same way: Isabelle, an Israeli sniper; Cuchillo, a cartel enforcer; Nikolai, a Russian soldier; Mombasa, from a Sierra Leone death squad; Stans, a death-row inmate; Hanzo, a yakuza enforcer; and Edwin, a quiet doctor. They realise they are on another planet, a game preserve where Predators hunt the most dangerous prey. They find Noland, a soldier who has survived there for years, who tells them about a feud between two Predator tribes and a captive Predator of the older kind. Noland betrays them and is killed, and the group is whittled down. Royce frees the captive, hoping it will fly them home.
Predators ending explained
The freed Predator is killed by its rival, and the ship leaves without them. Edwin turns out to be a serial killer who paralyses Isabelle; Royce kills him and fights the last Predator, distracting it with fire and beheading it. As Royce and Isabelle wait for whatever comes next, more parachutes fall from the sky with new prey.
