Movie Description
Director Ridley Scott's breakthough film, an immensely successful blend of horror and science fiction, is a classic in both genres and spawned a host of sequels and imitators. Starring Sigourney Weaver as warrant officer Ellen Ripley, ALIEN focuses on the crew of the space cargo ship Nostromo, which lands on a moribund planet in response to a faint SOS. Inside a crashed ship, the crew members come upon strange pods, one of which spews forth a repellently fleshy insectile creature that locks on to the face of the unlucky Kane (John Hurt). Despite Ripley's advice, science officer Ash (Ian Holm) allows Kane to return to the ship, where the creature finally releases its grip. Soon, however, in one of the film's most infamous scenes, one of its offspring explodes horribly from Kane's stomach and scurries away. Dallas (Tom Skerritt), the vessel's captain, leads the others in a search for the rapidly growing, acid-dripping alien before it can cut them down--one by one.


A triumph of art direction, set design, and special effects, ALIEN gains much of its impact from the contrast between the bleak, antiseptic beauty of the space vessel's interior and the primordial horror of the alien, a brilliantly original fusion of insect, man, and machine designed by Swiss surrealist painter H.R. Giger. The top-notch cast also includes Veronica Cartwright, Yaphet Kotto, and Harry Dean Stanton.

Editorial Reviews
"...ALIEN outshines all competition in the luminous splendour of its photography..."
Sight and Sound - p.258-9 - Philip Strick

"...An old-fashioned scary movie set in a highly realistic sci-fi future, made all the more believable by the expert technical craftsmanship....[Weaver] carries it off well..."
Variety - Har.

"...Ridley Scott was a force to be reckoned with..."
Movieline - Stephen Farber (11/01/2003)

"...Scott's film still shreds nerves....At once graphically elegant and viscerally effective, the future conjured up by Scott was dystopian to the core..."
Los Angeles Times - Manohla Dargis (10/29/2003)

"...In ALIEN, you can hear lessons for the sci-fi future in a great milestone from the recent past..."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (11/07/2003)

"...With its cliché-confounding cast and plotting, roughneck sensibility and star-making turn from Weaver, ALIEN rewards repeat viewing..."
Total Film - Total Film Staff (11/01/2003)

"Ridley Scott's 1979 movie is a great original."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (10/26/2003)

"Weaver's Ripley revolutionized women's roles by introducing the female action hero..."
Premiere - Premiere Staff (04/01/2004)
