“In space no one can hear you scream.”
Ridley Scott’s Alien is a 1979 science-fiction horror film set aboard the commercial spaceship Nostromo, with Sigourney Weaver among the leading cast. The story follows a crew drawn into danger after a distress signal leads them to a distant planet and a discovery that brings an unknown threat back with them. The film combines the confined atmosphere of deep space with elements of action and suspense, and it is presented in English with an R certification.
Made as an international production from Germany, France, the United States and the United Kingdom, Alien runs 117 minutes and became one of the defining titles of its era. Its cast includes Weaver in the central role, and the film is closely associated with themes of survival, biology, and the presence of an android within the crew.
