It took seven years to see a sequel to the incredible Alien (1979), but it was worth the wait. Rather than imitate the tense, haunted house vibes of the first, Aliens goes bezerk with action for a smart, unique chapter in the Ripley vs Aliens saga.
After floating in space for 57 years, Lt. Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) shuttle is found by a deep space salvage team. After reawakening, she learns there may be another outbreak of deadly aliens in a remote colony on another planet. With a crew of battle-hardened space marines, Ripley dives back into chaos to stop the aliens before they can grow and advance through space. Featuring a powerful group of actors along with Weaver, including Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, Lance Henriksen and the one-of-a-kind Bill Paxton.
