Watch Predator

John McClane barefoot in Nakatomi Plaza on Christmas Eve; the template for every action film after.

A bomber calling himself Simon walks McClane and a Harlem shopkeeper through riddles while the Federal Reserve is emptied.

The original, a black-and-white elegy for Hiroshima in the shape of a monster.

An Antarctic base and a shape-shifter; Rob Bottin's effects and the paranoia of the blood test.

A family lives in silence because the monsters hunt by sound; John Krasinski's horror.

Spielberg's sequel, with the trailer over the cliff and a T. rex in San Diego.

A couple trick Alan Grant into flying over Isla Sorna to look for their son; the Spinosaurus replaces the T. rex.

Watch the iconic sci-fi film The Matrix, which revolutionized action cinema with its groundbreaking visual effects and philosophical themes.
