Description

Drifting in space for 57 years after killing the alien that slaughtered the rest of her crew, Lt. Ripley, last survivor of the spaceship Nostromo, is discovered in cryostasis by a deep-space salvaging team and debriefed by her company for an explanation of her doomed mission. She learns that the company has set up a colony on the planet where the alien was discovered, and has recently lost contact with the settlers. Though traumatized, she agrees to accompany a platoon of Colonial Marines to investigate the colony, on the condition that any aliens are wiped out. Though well-equipped and battle hardened, the Marines’ mission goes wrong, and it’s up to Ripley to draw on her past experience to try to get off the planet alive.
