If you are looking into a particular piece such as this, than you are likely looking to learn a little more about one of the most impressive science fiction films to ever hit the screens, “Alien”. Surely, there is a good bit that you might want to know and understand to truly appreciate the film, and most of this as well as a plot synopsis is what you could expect from this article.

The first thing that you should likely understand is that this film was by no means the first or even close to the first movie to feature extraterrestrial beings. The idea of humans interacting with these beings and creatures was not something out of the realm of possibility for movie goers. However, you might care to know that there were very distinct differences between the beings of the preceding films and the beings created by the minds behind this franchise.

One of the first and most noteworthy differences between the predecessors and the new revamped ones, would be that these creatures were not just slow moving awkward beings. Rather, they were highly intelligent, terrifying to look at, and even deadlier to be around than anything that might have hit the screen before it.

They were creatures that fed on fear as much as they fed on the lives of humans. They walked on all fours and they stalked and hunted their prey, which in this case was a group of unknowing space miners. They had several sets of teeth, and they salivated a substance that could eat through metal floors with ease. While you don’t learn it in the original release, but in the sequels, most of them report to a much larger and much more terrifying queen.

The humans of the film are part of a mining expedition out in space when they hear a distress signal coming from a planet that they are passing by. So they unload their tow and leave it in orbit while they head to the planet to see if they can help. It doesn’t take them long to learn that this was no distress signal at all, and they are most certainly not alone on the planet. Dallas and Kane, two crew members head out and encounter the creatures first when one attaches to Kane’s face and won’t release.

But unbeknown to them at first, the crew later learns that they were meant to land on the planet and retrieve one of these creatures, whether they themselves actually made it back to Earth alive or not. They try many different ways to escape, and many of the crew is killed in the chaos. Ripley manages to escape on a shuttle after hitting the self destruct button on the ship, but not without an alien clinging to the outside portion of her craft trying to get in. When the creature attempts to enter through the thruster vents, she fires them on which kills the creature and she is able to make the trip back to Earth.

This film would likely not have been as good without the performances that brought the film to life. The most noteworthy of these being from Sigourney Weaver (Ripley) and the supporting roles of Tom Skerritt (Dallas) and John Hurt (Kane).

There is a good bit to know about the movie “Alien”, but this should give you a proper introduction to the film. While this movie is quite a classic, you might want to check it out as well as the several sequels to the film that followed after (most of which feature Sigourney Weaver in returning roles as Ripley).
