In deep space, the mining ship Nostromo is sent on a routine mission to a remote colony. When a distress transmission leads them to a desolate planet, the crew is forced to confront a threat that defies their understanding. However, this is not the same Alien you know. In this alternate universe, Ellen Ripley (Florence Pugh) is a tough, pragmatic leader, dealing with a biological nightmare in a world of unknowns and despair. The crew, made up of new and familiar characters, finds themselves in a desperate fight for their lives as they face not only the terror of the xenomorph, but also that of human nature itself. The alien threat is relentless, but something even more dangerous lurks – the Weyland-Yutani corporation itself, seeking to secure the power and advantage of its creation. As survival and morality collide, no one will be able to escape the chaos that unfolds around every corner of the Nostromo.
