In the movie the crew of a ship named Nostromo gets woken up by an alien distress call from a distant moon. The crew lands on the moon after having a rough landing and three of the crew members go and explore the moon. They soon find a hive colony and the ship's computer soon finds out for the ship crew that the call was not a distress one it was a warning to stay away from that moon. One of the crew members goes near one of the eggs in the hive and it attacks him projecting a parasite into him making him go unconscious. The crew brings him back onto the ship and they leave the corrupt planet. After a little while the unconscious man wakes up and the whole crew has kind of a feast. During the feast the previously unconscious man starts to have a seizure and some creature comes out of his body. The creature runs away and the whole crew starts to look for it. Throughout this period of time one by one the crew members all start to die. Soon Ripley starts up the crews self-destruct feature and boards a small vessel to make her way back to Earth. As she is on the vessel she finds out that she is not alone, the alien is also on the ship. Ripley suits up in some kind of astronaut suit and attacks the alien. She succeeds and the movie ends with her on the vessel flying off in space.
I loved this movie. It was one of the best movies of the 70's and I personally think it was a movie way ahead of its time. The visuals and the alien feel and look so real. Also the movies slogan "In space, no one can hear you scream", is one of the best slogans any movie can have.
