Predator— Prey or Predator?
Program Description
Are you a predator, or are you prey--and why does that matter? Join Utah Film Center in screening the classic 1987 film Predator, with a special conversation following with University of Utah professor Dr. Austin Green, an expert in predator/prey relationships. Does the audacious film stand up to the real, biological necessity to hunt, flee, or fight? Come see for yourself—if you dare.

A team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.
