Synopsis:
In the film that birthed the wildly
successful ALIEN franchise, the crew of the deep space tug Nostromo awaken from
stasis during a voyage home to Earth when their ship’s computer detects what is
believed to be an alien distress signal coming from the desolate nearby moon,
LV-426. While investigating, one of the crew, Kane (John Hurt), is attacked by
an alien creature that latches to his face and he is rushed back to the
Nostromo to receive medical treatment. Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), the ship’s
warrant officer, advises against Kane’s return due to quarantine regulations –
but her orders are ignored by Ash (Ian Holm), bringing the Nostromo under
threat from a mysterious, extraterrestrial apex predator with violent and
lethal survival instincts.
Scott directed Alien from a screenplay penned by Dan O’Bannon.
