Summary:
Alien: While investigating a transmission from a desolate planet, the crew of the spaceship Nostromo discovers a derelict spaceship and a life form perfectly evolved to annihilate them all. Ripley, the only survivor from the first encounter with the alien, returns to Earth, where her account meets with skepticism. However, the disappearance of colonists on a distant planet compels her to join a team of marines on their mission to eradicate the alien horde responsible. Alien 3: When Ripley crash lands on a planet inhabited by former inmates of a maximum security prison she is not the only one aboard her craft, and, as the death toll mounts, she must lead the ex-cons into battle against a terrifying creature without benefit of modern weapons.
