In space, no one can hear you scream... - Main tagline.

Alien is a 1979 science fiction horror film. It is directed by Ridley Scott and stars Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm and Yaphet Kotto.

The film's title refers to its primary antagonist: a highly lethal alien monster that attacks the crew of a spacecraft.

Dan O'Bannon wrote the screenplay from a story by him and Ronald Shusett, drawing influence from previous works of science fiction and horror. The film was produced through Brandywine Productions and distributed by 20th Century Fox, with producers David Giler and Walter Hill making significant revisions and additions to the script. The titular xenomorph|Alien and its accompanying elements were designed by Swiss surrealist artist H. R. Giger, while concept artists Moebius, Ron Cobb and Chris Foss designed the human aspects of the film.

Alien garnered both critical acclaim and box office success, receiving an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, Saturn Awards for Best Science Fiction Film, Best Direction for Scott, and Best Supporting Actress for Cartwright, and a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, along with numerous other award nominations.

The success of Alien spawned a media franchise of novels, comic books, video games, and toys, as well as three sequel and three prequel films. It also launched Weaver's acting career by providing her with her first lead role, and the story of her character Ripley's encounters with the Alien creatures became the thematic thread that ran through the sequels Aliens (1986), Alien 3 (1992) and Alien Resurrection (1997). The subsequent prequels Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Alien vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) abandoned this theme in favor of a crossover with the Predator (movie)| franchise.
