"Come on, Kitty, this way..."
THE MOST TERRIFYING SCI-FI FILM EVER MADE.Alien is a futuristic thriller set in interstellar space.
The 250-meter-long tug Nostromo returns to Earth towing a 20,000,000-ton ore-refining platform 3 kilometers long and two kilometers wide. And, even at the speed of light, the port is still several months away. The crew - five men, two women and a tomcat - lie wisely in the hyper-sleep chambers. But a strange emission - apparently of non-human origin - is picked up by the onboard computer, which then alters the Nostromo's trajectory and wakes the crew up earlier than expected. They are not explorers but simple space travelers; their job is essentially to exploit the resources of the universe. Nevertheless, their regulations stipulate that any hint of intelligence must be carefully examined. The signal is followed to a small planetoid. The Nostromo's landing, though terrifying, goes well, and a team of three scouts set foot on a desolate, weather-beaten surface to discover a huge wreck. They enter and find the skeleton - obviously non-human - of the wreck's pilot in a room, along with the origin of the signal. Minutes later, they make another discovery and the horror begins.
One thing the scouts don't know: the alien space pilot is a victim, and the signal is not a distress call but a warning. Soon, the crew is facing a merciless battle against a superior and treacherous life form.
Since the release of the film and its sequels, there has been an assortment - of varying quality - of figurines and kits, most of them in resin and vinyl in various scales...
