The iconic creatures from two of the scariest film franchises in movie history wage their most brutal battle ever--in our own backyard. The science fiction-action-thriller captures the magic of the "Alien vs. Predator" comics, novels and videogames that established the "AVP" brand--while paying homage to the hallmarks of the film series that preceded it: Ridley Scott's seminal work of science fiction and horror, "Alien"; James Cameron's masterpiece of intense action, "Aliens"; and John McTiernan's thriller about an extra-terrestrial warrior wreaking havoc in the jungle, "Predator." At the same time "AVP-R," introduces an intriguing element new to the franchise by having the Aliens and Predator wage war in a small American town.
