In the year 2100, Four years before the events of Alien: Covenant, the crew of the research vessel Goliath is sent on a classified mission by Weyland-Yutani to explore an uncharted planet in a distant star system. The planet, designated LV-243, is rumored to be home to ancient ruins left behind by the Engineers—a race of godlike beings who created humanity and may have been responsible for the creation of the Xenomorphs. Upon arrival, the crew discovers a massive, labyrinthine structure buried deep beneath the planet’s surface, a place where shadows seem to have a life of their own. As they venture deeper into the labyrinth, they uncover horrifying secrets about the Engineers’ experiments, including early versions of the Xenomorphs, more terrifying and grotesque than anything humanity has encountered before. As the crew attempts to escape the labyrinth, they are hunted by these ancient, monstrous creatures and begin to unravel the dark truth behind the Engineers' plans for both the Xenomorphs and humanity. The film explores themes of creation and destruction, the fine line between godhood and monstrosity, and the terrifying abyss that lies within every sentient being.
