The Alien Saga

Narrated by John Hurt

Alien burst onto the scene in 1979 with a strong female lead (Sigourney Weaver as Ripley) battling the ultimate biomechanical creature. The brilliant and terrifying result reinvented the horror/sci-fi genre.

This award-winning feature-length documentary serves as the definitive story of how a dark, nightmarish screenplay became one of the most successful - and celebrated - film franchises in Hollywood history. The Alien Saga also examines the sexual and mythic origins of its subject with compelling interviews, never-before-seen outtakes and extensive highlights from all four big-screen incarnations.
