Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi)is a young Yautja who aspires to be a brutal Predator like his brother Kwei and their father, the clan leader Njhorr. Kwei is ordered to execute Dek for being the weakest, but Kwei frees his brother and sends him to the “death planet” Genna to bring back the unkillable Kalisk as a trophy. Njhorr executes Kwei while Dek can only helplessly watch.

On Genna, everything in the environment or the creatures that inhabit it can kill. Dek teams up with a Weyland-Yutani Synthetic named Thia (Elle Fanning) (who is missing her legs) and a blue alien named Bud. While Thia is warm and compassionate to organic life forms, her twin Tessa is more cold and pragmatic, only focused on obtaining the Kalisk. Dek battles the creature, but it can heal and regenerate itself. Tessa and other Synthetics capture Dek and the Kalisk, but Thia helps Dek escape.

Dek reunites with Bud, whom he realizes is the Kalisk’s child. Together, they storm the Wey-Yu base to free Thia and the Kalisk. They kill the Synths but Tessa destroys the Kalisk from inside. Dek and Bud return the favor by impaling and pulling her head and spine out.

Dek brings Tessa’s skull home as a trophy and battles his father in retribution for Kwei. After proving his newfound might, Dek has a fully grown Bud eat Njhorr’s head. Dek accepts Thia and Bud as part of his own clan, but he soon faces the wrath of his own mother.
