Film Description

The first chapter in one of the most popular and terrifying sagas in science fiction history, Alien introduces Sigourney Weaver as Ripley, the iron-willed woman destined to battle the galaxy's ultimate creature. The terror begins when the crew of the spaceship Nostromo investigates a transmission from a desolate planet and makes a horrifying discovery, a life form that breeds within a human host. Now the crew must fight not only for its own survival, but for the survival of mankind.

The best of Ridley Scott by Deano

Ridley Scott has done nearly every genre one can think of. His films are not box office friendly, and hence why they are often cut by the studios.
