About this product

Product Information

This nine DVD box-set contains all 4 films in the ALIEN saga: ALIEN, ALIENS, ALIEN 3 and ALIEN RESURRECTION along with just about every extra any fan of the ALIEN series could ever want. Recognised as a classic of both horror and science-fiction. Starring Sigourney Weaver as warrant officer Ellen Ripley, ALIEN focuses on the crew of the space cargo ship Nostromo, which lands on a moribund planet in response to a faint SOS. Inside a crashed ship, the crew members come upon strange pods, one of which spews forth a repellently fleshy insectile creature that locks on to the face of the unlucky Kane (John Hurt). Despite Ripley's advice, science officer Ash (Ian Holm) allows Kane to return to the ship, where the creature finally releases its grip. Soon, however, in one of the film's most infamous scenes, one of its offspring explodes horribly from Kane's stomach and scurries away. Dallas (Tom Skerritt), the vessel's captain, leads the others in a search for the rapidly growing, acid-dripping alien before it can cut them down one by one. ALIEN is available on this box set in both the original and new Directors Cut editions. Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), the sole survivor from the first film, is awakened after 57 years of drifting through space, her stories disbelieved by Company executives who tell her that the alien's planet is now inhabited and colonized. When contact is suddenly lost with the colonists, Ripley returns to the planet with a squad of marines, an android (Lance Henriksen), and a Company executive (Paul Reiser) with a mission of his own. Once on the planet, no survivors can be found except for Newt, a little girl who awakens motherly instincts in Ripley just in time for the acid-blooded aliens to attack in what quickly becomes a one-sided battle for sheer survival. Considered by many to be the best of the series, ALIENS is a fast-paced, high-intensity thrill ride that set a new standard for action films and cemented director James Cameron's status as one of Hollywood's leading directors. ALIENS is available on this box set in both the original and Special Edition editions. ALIEN 3:Directed by David Fincher; ALIEN 3 picks up almost directly after the events in ALIENS, finding Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) frozen in suspended animation as her ship crashes on Fiorina 161, a prison planet. When awakened by the prison's staff, she discovers that she is the sole survivor of her crew. Trapped on a barren planet with convicts and no weapons of any kind, Ripley soon realizes that an alien was also on the ship and has survived. As the savage creature begins to massacre inmates, Ripley bands together with the remaining prisoners and attempts to destroy it by wits alone. ALIEN 3 is available on this box set as both the original edition and in a version based upon the Director's original cut. ALIEN RESURRECTION: In the last part of this saga, a drop of Ellen Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) blood spawns a part human, part alien Ripley clone. Now that Ripley is de

  • Excellent set design - ALIEN IN ALL ITS GLORY

    All of the ALIEN movies are absolutely excellent! From the first one where the egg is the main character to the "Octopus/Crab" like creature which incubates a creature (the Alien) in your chest. well!! what a wonderful thought... This Alien is so good to adapting to its surroundings and then it can even defend itself with acid for blood. Every moment of viewing these movies is captivating as you never know what is going to happen next. As you go through the various movies you are more astonished as what the writer had in his or her mind of what this Alien was planning. Not just to keep the life form but to even become the mother to lay eggs for a future generation. It even gets better near the end of the quadrilogy when the Alien tries to take on a human form. The best explanation is for you to watch the movies yourself.!!

  • Don't bend over that pod!

    Saw the premiere of this in Leicester Square. I worked in the film business and my boss gave me two tickets - he wasn't interested. You could have heard a grain of sand drop when John Hurt had his 'episode' - and the gasp from the entire picture house when the wee baby alien came out - WOW! Unforgettable, forever.... Still watch them all regularly (first two at least). Ginger - you were something else.
