One of the greatest sci-if horror films of all time, Alien is set in space, where 7 people find out about a transmission. One of them is attacked by a creature and eventually, an alien comes out of his chest.

The rest are killed, except Ripley, who is the sole survivor and Ash, who turns out to be behind the death of Kane. The film stars Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm and Yaphet Kotto and the film itself is directed by Ridley Scott and the Xenomorph was created by H.

R. Giger.
