In the year 2010, a mercenary named Royce (Adrien Brody) awakes in freefall over a tropical jungle. Upon landing, he is immediately confronted by several other heavily-armed individuals including Russian Spetsnaz soldier Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov), Mexican drug cartel enforcer Chuchillo (Danny Trejo) and IDF sniper Isabelle (Alice Braga). They quickly encounter several more people dropped from the sky into the jungle, including an RUF officer called Mombasa (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali), American Death Row inmate Stans (Walton Goggins), silent Yakuza assassin Hanzo, and an American doctor, Edwin (Topher Grace). Only one thing is common between the people stranded in the jungle - they are all cold-blooded killers (except, seemingly, for Edwin) and the last thing they can remember is a light, then waking up in freefall.
Trying to find high ground, they spring a series of booby traps, the original creator of which has been killed by a high-powered energy weapon. Continuing on, they discover that they are on an alien planet, and are attacked by quadrupedal alien creatures, which they manage to fend off until the creatures are called away by a high-pitched whistle. Chuchillo is abducted, mortally wounded and left in a field as bait for a high-tech trap. The group abandons him and Isabelle executes him with her sniper rifle not knowing he is already dead. Royce deduces that they are they are being hunted in a huge game reserve, and the quadrupedal creatures were being used in a manner similar to hunting dogs. They follow the creatures' tracks back to a campsite, where numerous skinned carcasses are hung and a captive Predator alien is bound to a metal monolith. They are then attacked by three cloaked Predators, who kill Mombasa as the rest of the humans manage to escape into a river. Here Isabelle reveals that she has prior knowledge of the events from the first predator film.
