Los Angeles turns into a hunting ground for an alien predator in this 1990 sci-fi action sequel, with Danny Glover leading the police response and Persian dubbing and subtitles available.
What is Predator 2 about?
The city is already in chaos before anything otherworldly shows up: rival gangs are locked in an open turf war, and the police are stretched thin trying to contain it. Lieutenant Mike Harrigan runs a narcotics task force caught in the middle of that conflict, and he's the first to notice that something else is picking off members of both sides, moving faster and killing more efficiently than any human combatant could. As bodies pile up in ways that don't fit any gang-violence pattern, Harrigan pushes past the official explanations his superiors want him to accept, even as a separate, secretive government team tries to steer the investigation away from him entirely. What he's tracking turns out to be an alien hunter, drawn to the city's violence and treating its heat, gunfire, and chaos as ideal conditions for a hunt of its own. The film moves the extraterrestrial threat of its predecessor out of the jungle and into an urban setting, trading isolated soldiers for a city police force that has no idea what it's actually up against.
About the cast
Danny Glover leads as Lieutenant Harrigan, with Kevin Peter Hall returning to the physical role of the alien hunter. Gary Busey, Rubén Blades, María Conchita Alonso, Bill Paxton, Robert Davi, and Adam Baldwin round out the police and task-force side of the story as Harrigan's team narrows in on the threat.
Context & significance
Arriving in 1990, this sequel followed a jungle-set original by moving the same creature into a dense American city, swapping a small military unit for an entire police department navigating gang warfare on top of an unseen predator. That shift in setting also shifted the tone: less survivalist thriller, more big-budget action spectacle built around chase sequences, shootouts, and set pieces staged across rooftops and subway tunnels. It sits comfortably in the science-fiction and horror space while keeping one foot in straightforward 1990s action cinema, aimed at audiences who wanted the alien-hunter concept scaled up rather than repeated in the same form.
