1987’sPredatorfollows a group of American mercenaries – led by a man named Dutch ( Arnold Schwarzenegger)–who are called to action in an undisclosed South American nation for a ' saving mission . ' The Truth : American forces could n’t intervene , as the res publica was under the threat of falling to communism . Set amidst the Red Scare of the 1980s ( and age after the end of the Vietnam War ) , tensions were still high with the Soviet Union , and the Antoine Domino theory was still taken extremely seriously . A communistic country in Americ’a backyard made the film ’s CIA nervous , direct in Green Berets to cut off the realm . When that did n’t work , Dutch and his soldier of fortune were hired to terminate the occupation and tie up loose ends .

Predators are Drawn to Moments of War to Abduct the Deadliest Prey
InPredatorVol . 2 # 2 by Ed Brisson and Netho Diaz , a grouping of people are running for their lives on an foreign major planet , as they are being hunted by a squad of Predators . After sing among themselves , they issue forth to find out that each of them thinks it ’s a different year . One person thinks it ’s the ‘ 90s , another guess it ’s the 2020s , and a few more swear it ’s closer to the 2050s . The reason for this confusion is that each of them were originally from a different time period on Earth , andevery time a Predator hunted on Earth they kidnap someoneand put them in stasis , only to wake them up when they were needed for a controlled Richard Morris Hunt like this one .
What ’s even more interesting is that the date were n’t random , as each of them corresponded with some eccentric of wartime dispute on Earth , and most of the masses who were on this planet were soldier . What this issue seems to confirm is thatPredators are drawn to planetsspecifically when there is a state of war belong on , or some case of tempestuousness that would do engagement to recrudesce that impingement most of the major planet .
The Predators Are A Cosmic Punishment, Not Random Hunters
This is why the Predator in the first movie found itself right in the middle of a CIA - led brush in South America . It ’s because that seemingly innocuous engagement was on the QT a fight between two of the biggest power - houses in the populace at that clock time : the U.S. and the Soviet Union . The Predator view the unrest on Planet Earth , targeted a specific area where struggle were present , and made that its hunting ground . This method see to it that the Predator was hunting the most worthy quarry possible , with the added benefit of perhaps direct one of the human being with them to put on stasis once they were finished .
With this newfangled Book of Revelation , the meaning of the firstPredatorfilm is totally transformed from a definitive action movie into a hard piece of political commentary , as the Yautja acts as cosmic punishment for human beings ’s lecherousness for war is the very thing that attracts it .
