Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A team of special force ops, led by a tough but fair soldier, Major "Dutch" Schaefer, are ordered to assist CIA man, Colonel Al Dillon, on a rescue mission for potential survivors of a Helicopter downed over remote South American jungle. Not long after they land, Dutch and his team discover that they have been sent in under false pretenses. This deception turns out to be the least of their worries though, when they find themselves being methodically hunted by something not of this world. Written by Laygz |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Several directors were approached to direct this film including Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Brian De Palma, Richard Donner, John Milius, John Carpenter and Renny Harlin. However, they would all pass stating they didn't want to shoot an Alien/Monster movie in the jungle. John McTiernan would eventually be chosen to direct this film instead. See more » |
| Goofs | When Dutch and his team raid the guerrilla camp, they are still looking for hostages, as they only know for certain that one of the captives has been executed (the one shot by the Russian advisor). Yet during their assault, they virtually raze the camp with reckless abandon, blowing up entire buildings without ever bothering to check if the hostages might be inside. It isn't until after the firefight that Mac bothers to look for the men they are there to rescue. This has been listed as a plot hole although whilst potentially a character mistake it isn't a plot hole. The plot of the movie isn't broken because of the way the team attack the camp. All the hostages were dead anyway (even though the team didn't know it at the time), so in the end it didn't matter. See more » |
