Set far in the future on a remote and savage alien planet called Genna (also referred to as one of the most dangerous places in the universe), the story follows Dek — a young member of the Predator (Yautja) species who has been exiled by his clan for being smaller, weaker, and considered a “runt.” Wikipedia+3Space+3Predator Movies+3

Dek’s mission: prove his worth. He is sent (or forced) to the brutal hunting planet to take down a near-mythical monster called the Kalisk (or a similarly unbeatable apex alien predator) and bring back its trophy to his clan. Predator Movies+1

Along the way, Dek encounters Thia, an android (synthetic) working for the mega-corporation Weyland‑Yutani Corporation (yes, the same corporation from the Alien universe). Thia is damaged and stranded: her lower half is missing, and she is desperate to get back what she lost and survive this lethal environment. TIME+2Predator Movies+2

The unlikely duo — exiled Predator and broken synth — must form an uneasy alliance. Dek carries Thia into the wilderness of Genna, learning about this alien world’s deadly creatures, plants, and terrain. While surviving, they head toward the ultimate adversary that many believed could not be killed. TIME+2Predator Movies+2

Importantly, the film departs from the traditional premise of humans vs. Predator. In Badlands, there are minimal or no humans on screen — the story focuses on alien and synthetic characters. This shift allows the Predator himself to be the protagonist rather than the villain. People.com+2TIME+2

In the end, Dek must confront not only the external beast but also his own clan’s rejection, his father’s disapproval, and what it means to belong. His journey becomes as much about identity, loyalty, and redemption as about hunting. Space+1

So: exile, alien world, monster hunt, weird corporate android, and a battle–but also a coming-of-age story for a Predator who might finally break the rules of his species.
