What soon ensues is a violent battle for supremacy writ large against the backdrop of a small midwestern town.

But when a scout from the Predator homeworld discovers that the ship crashed, he departs for earth to track down the creatures and rescue the survivors. After a human hunter and his young son discover the vessel, they are impregnated by facehuggers and left to gestate normal aliens. Because one of the survivors was impregnated with an alien embryo, the resulting creature possesses characteristics of both species, forming a "predalien " the ensuing struggle to defeat the monster results in the ship crash-landing back on earth. From there, AVP-R picks up where the original film left off, following a group of Predators as they return to their homeworld. The film opens with a montage of sights and sounds from both franchises, heralding a return to the form (if not content) that fans have loved for decades: the deep, resonating brass of James Horner's Aliens score, the tribal percussion of his Predator theme, and the font of both series' credit sequences.
