Alien

Alien (1979) — watch online the sci-fi horror directed by Ridley Scott that redefined what fear in space could look like. The commercial towing vessel Nostromo is on its way back to Earth when the ship's computer picks up a transmission from an uncharted moon. Company rules require the crew to investigate.

What they find is a derelict craft and a chamber filled with leathery eggs. Executive officer Kane (John Hurt) gets too close to one. By the time warrant officer Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) tries to seal the airlock, it is already too late. Seven crew members — including captain Dallas (Tom Skerritt) and the unsettlingly calm science officer Ash (Ian Holm) — are now locked inside a ship with something that cannot be reasoned with, cannot be outrun, and does not stop.

Screenwriter Dan O'Bannon and Swiss artist H.R. Giger built a creature unlike anything before it, earning the film an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Scott shot it less as an action film and more as a slow-burn haunted-house story set in the void — every corridor darker and narrower than the last. Stream Alien (1979) in full HD on iFILM.
