It stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi and is set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator (Schuster-Koloamatangi), outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.
The young Predator, Dek, leaves Yautja Prime for the planet Genna to hunt the Kalisk, a creature said to be impossible to kill. Thia is a damaged Weyland-Yutani synthetic, and Fanning also plays her sister Tessa.
No year is given in the film. Dan Trachtenberg set it after every other Alien and Predator film, beyond "Alien Resurrection" (2381). The Weyland-Yutani synthetics sent to Genna are its link to the Alien films.
