Predator Prime (Spec Script)

Opening: In 1987, military satellites detect a mysterious energy pulse deep in the jungles of Central America — the aftermath of the first Predator’s self-destruction. Major Dutch Schaefer, the sole survivor, is transported to a classified military facility. Alongside him is Anna, the only other witness. Their silence speaks louder than any report. Officially, Dutch’s unit perished in a skirmish with insurgents, but the truth remains buried in top-secret files. Carl Martinez – The Obsession Begins: CIA agent Carl Martinez, a close associate of the late Dillon, takes over the investigation. He interrogates Dutch and Anna, analyzes satellite data, and studies every detail of the mission. For Martinez, uncovering the truth becomes a personal crusade. He spends years preparing for the Predator’s return, determined to capture the alien hunter if it ever sets foot on Earth again. The Balkans – A New Hunting Ground: Years later, in the midst of the brutal civil war in the Balkans, a new hunter arrives — Predator Prime. A member of the elite Yautja caste, Prime is not just a killer but a strategist. He chooses a battlefield steeped in moral ambiguity, where the line between hero and villain is blurred. In this chaos, he finds the perfect conditions for an evolutionary hunt. Main Characters: Mila Ivanović – A Bosnian army sergeant, intelligent and fearless, forced to cooperate with her enemies to survive. Dusan Radovanović – A VRS lieutenant, Mila’s temporary ally, wounded during the hunt and ultimately sacrifices himself to save her. Carl Martinez – A seasoned CIA agent, tactical and psychologically resilient, whose knowledge of the Predator stems from Dutch’s original mission. Action & Conflict: Predator Prime begins eliminating military units around Sarajevo using biomechanical weaponry — kinetic discs, impenetrable armor, and senses far superior to any human. Mila and Dusan, despite being on opposing sides of the conflict, join forces to survive. Prime doesn’t kill indiscriminately; his actions are calculated, intelligent, and psychologically devastating. Climax: Mila confronts Predator Prime in a final encounter. In a moment where brute strength is meaningless, Prime spares her life — severing her finger as a symbolic gesture of dominance. He wears it as a trophy, a warning to all who dare challenge him. Finale: Predator Prime activates his camouflage and vanishes into the ruins. A powerful wind rises, the ground trembles, and a massive alien ship emerges from beneath the city. It ascends silently, leaving behind a crater — a chilling reminder of extraterrestrial presence. Mila, wounded and in shock, watches the departure as CIA agents Martinez and Reynolds arrive, bearing witness to the destruction and the silent legacy of the hunters from the stars. Ending / Sequel Hook: The ship’s presence suggests that Predator Prime was merely a scout — a pawn in a larger game. Humanity remains unaware that the hunt has only just begun.
