PREDATOR Screenplay 1987 Movie Script Arnold Schwarzenegger Hunter Final Draft

  
Final Draft - April 7th, 1986 (includes revisions up to 6 GOLDENROD - January 30th, 1987) Complete script with 107 pages Directed by John McTiernan Written by Jim Thomas and John Thomas Produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Was originally developed under the working title "Hunter" before becoming one of the defining sci-fi action films of the 1980s.

The story follows Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his elite rescue team as they are hunted in a Central American jungle by a technologically advanced alien predator. The film is regarded as a landmark in action and science fiction cinema for its blend of military survival and creature-driven horror, as well as its iconic creature design by Stan Winston.

Its style and structure helped redefine the genre and influenced numerous films that followed. Later became especially significant through its connection to the Alien franchise, establishing a crossover legacy that expanded its cultural impact far beyond its original release.

This version reflects the production-ready screenplay used during filming, incorporating all revisions up to the 6 GOLDENROD draft stage into the structured format that shaped the final film. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, recognizing its groundbreaking practical effects work. This script came from the estate sale of a film industry executive and producer. Our scripts have been preserved under the strictest climate control standards in HVAC-R conditions, both during storage and throughout the packaging process.

Securely packaged with premium materials to ensure it arrives in pristine condition. A studio-copy is a script printed by the studio for internal use by the crew, cast, or executives during production. In many cases, these copies feature original production stamps that verify their history.

To ensure absolute preservation, these specific vault copies never saw the light of day and were never bound with brass brads (which can oxidize over time and permanently stain the paper). Instead, they have been meticulously kept using professional binding materials entirely free of oxidizable metals. Do you use stock photos or are yours?
