When a couple crew members come back from investigating, they bring with them an alien life form with extraordinary adaptability. Within their close quarters, the crew battles against the mother of all aliens but who will survive? Featuring the iconic creature and environmental design by H.R. Gieger and Sigourney Weaver in the role that would define women in action film, Alien is the ultimate fight in space.
