Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) survival capsule is picked up in deep space 50 years after the events of Alien. The planet where her crew encountered a new, deadly alien life-form was colonized. When all contact with the colony is lost, Ripley is recruited to join a group of Colonial Marines in their mission to discover the fate of the colonists. Will the firepower the Marines bring with them be enough to fight an entire army of aliens-and can Ripley get them to listen to her long enough to survive?
