A film which develops the stay of an earlier film by telling you what happened, before the events in the second film.

A prequel is a film that depicts events which occurred before those in a previously released film, serving as its narrative predecessor. Unlike a sequel which continues the story forward, a prequel goes back in time to show the backstory. The definition contains a minor typo (should be 'story' not 'stay'), but the intended meaning is clear.
