In Ridley Scott’s influential sci-fi horror, the crew of a commercial spacecraft are terrorised by a parasitic alien after investigating a mysterious distress call from a seemingly uninhabited moon. Widely considered to be among the greatest science-fiction and horror films ever made, Alien took out the Oscar for Best Visual Effects and introduced Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), now a favourite cinematic action hero.

‘…a great original… dark and frightening intensity’ – Roger Ebert

Meanwhile, James Cameron trades horror for sci-fi action adventure in the critically acclaimed sequel, in which Ripley joins a team of highly trained marines to wage war against aliens who have overrun the LV-426 space colony.

‘…a sci-fi war movie that gets you in its grip very early, and never lets go’ – The Washington Post
