In ' Aliens' (1986), Officer Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), the sole survivor of the alien attack on the ' Nostromo', awakes after 57 years in suspended animation when she is picked up by a salvage ship.

In ' Predator 2' (1990), crime-riddled futuristic Los Angeles becomes the target of an alien predator, killing drug lords & police alike.

They then find out from studying the hieroglyphics in the temple that an even greater threat is hanging over them: a group of Predators
