PREY MOVIE TRAILERS
PREY MOVIE PLOT
In 1719 in the Great Plains, Naru, a young Comanche woman trained as a healer, dreams of becoming a great hunter like her brother, Taabe. While tracking deer with her dog, Sarii, she witnesses an anomaly in the clouds which she likens to the Thunderbird (actually a Predator spacecraft); she takes this as a sign to prove herself. Taabe agrees to bring her to join the search party for the cougar that attacked one of the tribe's hunters, but only so she can provide medical treatment if they find the hunter alive. They retrieve the wounded hunter and depart, though Taabe stays behind to find and kill the big cat.
Finding unusual tracks and a meticulously skinned rattlesnake, Naru circles back with Paake and finds Taabe. Together they set a trap for the cougar but it kills Paake. Naru wounds the big cat but falls and strikes her head after being distracted by a burst of light in the distance. Taabe carries her home and returns to kill the weakened cougar, earning him the title of War Chief after completing the hunt. Convinced of a greater threat, Naru departs with Sarii; they come across a herd of skinned bison, and later are attacked by a grizzly bear. The bear is killed by the Predator, giving Naru time to escape before running into a group of Comanche sent to find her; the creature ambushes and kills them in combat. Naru is caught in a foothold trap, but the Predator leaves when she is no longer a threat.
French voyageurs, responsible for killing and skinning the bison, find Naru and cage her. Their translator, Raphael Adolini, questions Naru about the Predator, with whose species he is familiar.[a] When she refuses to talk, the lead voyageur reveals that he has Taabe captive and tortures him with a knife before using both siblings as tied-bait for the Predator. The creature kills most of the Frenchmen while Taabe and Naru escape. Naru rescues Sarii from the camp and stumbles across a dying Raphael, who teaches her how to use his flintlock pistol[b] in exchange for medical treatment to his severed leg. Naru gives him herbs that reduce his body heat to stanch the bleeding. When the Predator arrives, Raphael plays dead, and Naru realizes that the creature cannot see him. After the Predator steps on Raphael's leg, Raphael screams, at which point the Predator kills him.
Taabe arrives on horseback to rescue Naru. Together they weaken the creature, but it kills Taabe after stabbing him through the back. Naru flees and finds the surviving lead Frenchman. She knocks him out, severs one of his legs, and gives him an unloaded gun before eating the herbs to hide her body heat, baiting the creature to kill the voyageur. She uses Raphael's pistol to ambush the Predator, knocking off its laser-targeting mask; she steals it and flees into the woods.
Naru lures the Predator into a mud-filled bog pit before using the creature's mask to turn its own projectile weapon against it, which kills the Predator instantly. Naru severs its head and paints her face with its glowing green blood. She brings the head and the flintlock pistol back to her tribe. They honor her victory by declaring Naru a War Chief. A hide painting in the end credits depicts three Predator spaceships arriving in Comanche territory.
