Sometime in the distant future, a seven-person crew upon a commercial spaceship named “Nostromo”, stumble upon a distress call from a planet not too far away. Under obligation to investigate, the group descend onto the small planet, but quickly discover that the original message was a warning, not a distress call, before coming to the realisation that life is in fact prevalent there. Alien still manages to hold up in 2023 as being an extremely entertaining flick. It’s worth noting that Alien is currently streaming on Disney+.
