In the radioactive wastelands known as the Badlands, where the U.S. has buried its darkest secrets under a permanent blackout, an elite convoy vanishes without a trace.

Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as Dutch, the legendary warrior, pulled from hiding to face an unimaginable threat. This time, he’s not alone. He’s joined by Ava Shaw (Elle Fanning), a brilliant recon specialist who’s hacked classified Predator footage, and Briggs (John Cena),

a battle-hardened ex-Black Ops commander offered freedom in exchange for proof of the unimaginable horrors that lie ahead.

As they venture deep into the dust-choked canyons, they find horrifying totems made from soldiers’ gear, skinned drones,

and signs that rival Predator clans have turned the Badlands into their deadly hunting grounds. With satellites blind and no extraction in sight, they must weaponize the harsh desert landscape and turn the hunters against each other—knowing full well the real prize is their own survival.

Review: Sun-scorched, brutal, and tense—Dutch, the seasoned warrior, sharp rookie Ava, and wrecking-ball soldier Briggs find themselves trapped in the franchise’s deadliest game yet.
