Sci-fi action. Early in the 21st century, billionaire Charles Weyland (Lance Hendriksen) is convinced that his satellite thermal imaging system has picked up evidence of an ancient life form buried under the ice in remotest Antarctica. When a team of archaeologists sets out to investigate, they find more than they had bargained for: the ancient pyramid temple they discover contains evidence that the alien life form it contained could still be in existence. They then find out from studying the hieroglyphics in the temple that an even greater threat is hanging over them: a group of Predators - the feared intergalactic hunters - are on their way to earth to take part in a rite-of-passage battle with the aliens that could lay waste to the human race...

Michael Mann directs this stylish crime thriller, in which Tom Cruise is cast against type as assassin Vincent, who hires taxi driver Max (Jamie Foxx) to take him to five different addresses over the course of one evening - and to wait outside while he carries out his ruthless business. As Max becomes aware of Vincent's true purpose - and realises that one of Vincent's potential victims is Annie (Jada Pinkett Smith), a young, friendly and attractive lawyer who rode in his cab earlier, he must find a way to prevent Vincent from killing again - and to save his own skin. Mark Ruffalo, Bruce McGill and Peter Berg co-star as the three LAPD cops hot on Vincent's tail.
