The Xenomorph saga begins chronologically with the first crossover film, AVP: Alien vs. Predator. Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, the film is set in 2004 and explores a concept first introduced in a 1989 comic. It reveals that Predators (known as Yautja) have been visiting Earth for millennia, with ancient cults sacrificing humans to Xenomorphs for the Predators to hunt. However, their 2004 hunting trip takes a disastrous turn.
