Sipnosis: La nave comercial Nostromo y su tripulación, siete hombres y mujeres, se disponen a volver a la Tierra transportando un cargamento de mineral importante. Pero cuando se detienen forzosamente en un planeta desierto, el oficial Kane es repentinamente atacado por una forma de vida desconocida, un arácnido que se adhiere a su cara. Después de que al doctor se le retire el espécimen con ayuda de todos, la tripulación se queda más tranquila y cenan juntos. Justo entonces, Kane empieza a sufrir arcadas y convulsiones y ve cómo su abdomen es perforado por un cuerpo extraño vivo, que se escapa por el pasillo de la nave. Se encuentran en medio del espacio exterior y en compañía de un alienígena.

El misterioso huésped resulta ser una despiadada máquina de matar que siembra el pánico y acaba con la tripulación lentamente. La Doctora Ripley, uno de los tripulantes, acabará erigiéndose inesperadamente como la única rival a la altura del monstruo, con quien luchará hasta las últimas consecuencias.

Sypnosis: The commercial ship Nostromo and its crew, seven men and women, are about to return to Earth carrying a shipment of important ore. But when they come to a forced stop on a desert planet, Officer Kane is suddenly attacked by an unknown life form, an arachnid that attaches itself to his face. After the doctor has the specimen removed with everyone's help, the crew becomes calmer and have dinner together. Just then, Kane begins to retch and convulse and sees his abdomen pierced by a living foreign body, which escapes down the ship's corridor. They find themselves in the middle of outer space and in the company of an alien.

The mysterious host turns out to be a ruthless killing machine that spreads panic and slowly wipes out the crew. Dr. Ripley, one of the crew members, will unexpectedly end up as the only rival to match the monster, with whom she will fight to the last consequences.
