First designed by H. R.
Giger in 1979, the menacing star of the Alien series is a unique
xenomorphic being. Since the species was reawakened by the crew
of the Nostromo Spacecraft, the sole survivor, Ellen Ripley, has
battled to keep humanity safe from alien destruction. In Alien3,
Ripley and her late crew crash land on a prison planet after
their escape from the alien stronghold. As the prisoners are
slowly killed, Ripley discovers that the reason for their sudden
breakdown is an inhuman stowaway, and a desperate plan is
devised to kill the alien menace. What Ripley soon learns is
that there is more to her alien encounter than she imagined.
