ALIEN (1979 - R)

ALIEN is the first of what would become a dynasty of sci-fi films addressing the possibility of extraterrestrial life forms and the pontificated dynamics of their interactions with the human race. Set in the future aboard a cargo space-ship, the Nostromo, the seven-man crew must fight for their lives after a notorious alien life form enters their ship via its host, crewmember Kane. Once free of its human shell, however, the deadly alien is anything but good news for the ill-fated Nostromo crew.

The cast includes: Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, Harry Dean Stanton, Yaphet Kotto, and Veronica Cartwright.

Written by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett. Directed by Ridley Scott.
