In “Aliens,” director James Cameron takes Ridley Scott’s terrifying sci-fi horror classic “Alien” and transforms it into an adrenaline-fueled action-packed sequel. Set 57 years after the events of the first film, Ellen Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver) awakens from hyper-sleep to find herself on a space station. Traumatized by her encounter with the deadly xenomorph, she reluctantly agrees to accompany a group of Colonial Marines on a mission to investigate a terraforming colony on the planet LV-426, where contact has been lost.

As they arrive, they find the colony decimated, with the only survivor being a traumatized young girl named Newt (Carrie Henn). It soon becomes clear that the xenomorphs are responsible, and Ripley must confront her fears and lead the survivors in a battle for survival against the relentless alien horde. With pulse-pounding action sequences, stunning visual effects, and memorable characters, “Aliens” delivers a heart-pounding thrill ride that cements its place as one of the greatest sci-fi action films of all time.
