The spacecraft receives a mysterious signal to head for the asteroid
In the future world, humans can already fly spaceships, shuttle between the stars, and carry out commercial activities in space.
The Nostromo spacecraft, one of many commercial cargo ships in space, suddenly received a strange set of signals when the spacecraft returned to Earth full of ore.
The ship's computers woke up the dormant crew, and the company's superiors ordered the Nostromo to go to the signal source for search and rescue.
Nostromo landed on an asteroid. The captain, co-captain and navigator went out to investigate the source of the signal, and Ripley and the scientific officer Ash and other crew members stayed on the spacecraft to monitor and repair the damaged part of the spacecraft's landing.

Inside the alien spacecraft wreckage on an asteroid
The captain and his party discover that the mysterious signal originated from the wreckage of a huge alien spaceship, and inside the wreckage was the remains of an alien creature that had been petrified, and the death was bizarre.
Meanwhile, Ripley on board the ship cracked the mysterious signal not as a distress signal, but as a warning, but could not be notified to the captain in time.
A strange dome in the wreckage of an alien spaceship
The three captains reached the lower level of the ship and found some strange domes. As they inspected, an egg suddenly cracked, and the creature inside the egg clung to Vice Captain Kane's face.
The captain takes the unconscious Kane back to the ship, and the unknown creature cannot be removed from Kane's face, and Kane remains unconscious.
After the repair work of the spacecraft was completed, the "Nostromo" set sail for Earth.
Alien appears
At this time, the unknown creature fell off on its own, and Kane woke up unharmed. Everyone was happy, but while celebrating the meal, Kane suddenly convulsed in pain, and an alien burst out of his body.
After the alien appeared, it quickly escaped and hid in the spaceship, and the team members and the alien launched a life-and-death struggle in the spaceship, and the two crew members died one after another, and the death was very tragic.
The spaceship was filled with an atmosphere of uncertainty.
Powerful organic object, alien
Rapri found out from the ship's computer that The Scientist Ash had been ordered by the ship's top brass to bring samples of the Aliens back to Earth.
It turned out to be a conspiracy, and the scientist Ash was a biochemical robot responsible for carrying out orders and sacrificing the lives of the entire crew if necessary.
Before dying, Ash said that the Alien was so powerful that all the crew members would die.
In order to kill the alien, the three surviving crew members decided to install a self-destruct device on the ship's mothership, and the three escaped by space shuttle, but only Ripley escaped.
After a desperate fight, Ripley threw the alien into space, lay down in the shuttle's sleeping capsule and began to sleep, waiting for a long rescue.
Ripley and the Alien fight for life
The film vividly portrays the unknown, the mysterious, the chamber of secrets, monsters and oppression, and the atmosphere of horror is everywhere in the relatively small spaceship space.
Director Ridley Scott perfectly combines monster-themed horror films with future science fiction, exquisite space pictures, the Cold War background of the times, the feminism represented by Ripley, and the sexual innuendo that appears many times in the film, all of which present the grand momentum of large-scale production, making this film a precedent for science fiction horror films and becoming an immortal classic.
