In space no one can hear you scream. The terrifying sci-fi adventure, "Alien," celebrates 40 years with an all-new 4K Ultra HD master. In the film that birthed the wildly successful "Alien" franchise, the crew of the deep space tug Nostromo awaken from stasis during a voyage home to Earth when their ship’s computer detects what is believed to be an alien distress signal coming from the desolate nearby moon, LV-426. While investigating, one of the crew, Kane (Hurt), is attacked by an alien creature that latches to his face, and he is rushed back to the Nostromo to receive medical treatment. Ripley (Weaver), the ship’s warrant officer, advises against Kane’s return due to quarantine regulations—but her orders are ignored by Ash (Holm), bringing the Nostromo under threat from a mysterious, extraterrestrial apex predator with violent and lethal survival instincts. (Gary Reber)
