Spoilers ahead

In 1997, a blistering heat wave blankets Los Angeles as a brutal turf war erupts between heavily armed Colombian and Jamaican drug factions. A silent observer, a Predator, watches as a violent shootout unfolds between police, Jamaicans, and Colombians. Lieutenant Mike Harrigan plunges into the chaos to rescue two wounded officers, driving the Colombians back to their hideout, while the Predator erupts from the shadows to amplify the carnage. The kill on the roof is swift, and the crazed gang leader’s fatal shot at the creature is a desperate misfire; Harrigan later writes it off as a heat-induced mirage born of his acrophobia.
