As violent gang-wars tear the city apart, police lieutenant Mike Harrigan (played by Danny Glover) finds himself on the trail of a string of bizarre and gruesome murders. He soon discovers that the murders are not the work of the Jamaican and Columbian drug cartels that he has been fighting against, but is in fact the handiwork of an alien Predator. Shielding the Predator's actions is a corrupt Federal team led by Peter Keyes (played by Gary Busey) who are aware of the alien's presence and wants to study it for themselves.
