The terror begins when the crew of a spaceship investigates a transmission from a desolate planet, and discovers a life form that is perfectly evolved to annihilate mankind. One by one, each crew member is slain until only Ripley is left, leading to an explosive conclusion that sets the stage for its stunning sequel, "Aliens."

Combination of Sci-Fi, thriller and horror. Great acting by all the actors. Ripley was tough/strong woman.Good job by Sigourney Weaver. The movie also tells us stay tf on your home planet and you'll be fine. Just kiddin, great movie... One of the greatest movies ever but not the best one.

Story was good but entry of Alien was late. In all Alien sequels,Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) was the first to encounter Alien.
