Plot Synopsis

After floating in space for 57 years, Lt. Ripley's shuttle is found by a deep space salvage team. Her account of the alien and the fate of her crew are received with skepticism since the planet where Ripley first encountered the alien was colonized over twenty years earlier and no evidence was found to support her story. The Company declares her psychologically unfit and revokes her flight officer's license.

Soon after, the colonists mysteriously disappear and Ripley may be forced to return to the planet where her nightmares began. Determined to face her fears and exterminate the deadly creatures, she accompanies a team of high-tech colonial marines and a Company representative to investigate.

Upon arriving at LV-426, the marines find only one survivor, a nine year old girl named Newt. But even these battle-hardened marines with all the latest weaponry are no match for the hundreds of aliens that have invaded the colony. They are forced to cut short their search for more survivors and retreat to the Operations Center to await rescue themselves.
