When a deep-space salvage crew discovers an escape shuttle containing Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) decades after her first alien encounter, she’ll accompany a team of marines back to where the terror started. Director James Cameron ratchets up the action in his high-tension follow-up to the Ridley Scott classic, crafting one of the most pulse-pounding adventures ever sent into space: thoroughly entertaining, eminently quotable, and jam-packed with a dream team cast and an impressive array of visual effects.
