Riddick (2013)

Overview

Riddick, the most wanted criminal in the galaxy, is betrayed by his own people and left to die on a hostile planet inhabited only by wild creatures. To survive, he activates an emergency beacon that attracts two mercenary ships: the first with a brutal crew, the second led by a man from Riddick's past. Realizing that no one will leave the planet without his head as a trophy, Riddick uses the planet's deadly dangers against his pursuers.
