ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – ALIEN (1979)

 

“Alien” is a Sci-Fi Drama, Screenplay Written by Dan O'Bannon, from a story by Ronald Shusett and Dan O'Bannon and Directed by Ridley Scott


The commercial spaceship Nostromo is on the way home and the crew, Dallas (Tom Skerritt), Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), Lambert (Veronica Cartwright), Brett (Harry Dean Stanton), Kane (John Hurt), Ash (Ian Holm) and Parker (Yaphet Kotto), are in stasis when they pick up a distress call from a distant moon.

So, the ships computer, Mother (Helen Horton), wakes them early as they are under an obligation to investigate the source of the signal so a ship descends to the surface, where one of them is attacked by a strange creature which emerged from what appeared to be an egg.

 

Meanwhile the ship's computer deciphered the message to be a warning and not a call for help, but by the time the crew realizes that they are not alone on the spaceship they can only try to deal with the consequences.
