Aliens

Fifty-seven years after the events of Alien Ellen Ripley is found drifting in space. Told that the planet where she encountered the alien has since been colonized and that contact has been lost she accompanies Colonial Marines to investigate. James Cameron transforms the intimate horror of the original into a colossal action film while somehow deepening Ripley’s character and delivering one of cinema’s most cathartic mother-daughter stories disguised as a spectacular science fiction action film. A rare sequel that matches its predecessor.
