He’s tracked warriors through jungles, cities, and frozen frontiers. But in Predator: Badlands, the galaxy’s deadliest hunter enters a lawless wasteland where even monsters need a code to survive.
🏜️ Plot Summary:
Set in a scorched, near-future post-apocalyptic America, where civilization has collapsed and warlords rule over vast desert territories, Predator: Badlands follows a rogue ex-special forces tracker (Pedro Pascal) who stumbles upon a ghost town littered with the remains of an elite raiding party — each body skinned and displayed in ritual fashion.
But this isn’t the work of any warlord.
It’s something older. Something hunting for sport.
Teaming up with a mute survivor (Florence Pugh) and a band of desperate desert outcasts, the tracker uncovers the truth: a Predator has claimed the Badlands as its new hunting ground, testing the last humans in a trial of survival. But this time, the prey fights back — with brutal force and nothing left to lose.
