By taking a look at this particular piece, I can venture a guess that you are looking to learn a little more about the film "Alien" in many different capacities. Through the course of the upcoming paragraphs, you will be introduced to the film through a plot synopsis, a breakdown of the actors and actresses that made the film possible, and why this movie revolutionized sci-fi horror films.
For starters, there were always creepy sci-fi movies about aliens for many years before this film came out. So the concept, though unique in the way that it was written into the plot, was not something that the audience had never seen before. There were considerable differences between the creatures that were featured in this film against the beings that came before it.
The first thing that you would likely notice as a considerable difference between these creatures and those that you might have seen before would be the fact that they aren't just "stand around and look eerie" beings. These are very aggressive and very deadly creatures, that have absolutely no interest in making patterns in corn fields or beaming you up into their spaceship.
These were beasts of prey and terror. They had long tails and often walked on all fours. They had rows of teeth and heavily salivate a toxic substance. This was not what people think they saw at Roswell, this is far more sinister and terrifying than that. Not to mention, they are all just peons that work for the much larger, and much scarier queen alien. You don't learn about these until some of the sequels, though.
The humans of the film are part of a mining expedition out in space when they hear a distress signal coming from a planet that they are passing by. So they unload their tow and leave it in orbit while they head to the planet to see if they can help. It doesn't take them long to learn that this was no distress signal at all, and they are most certainly not alone on the planet. Dallas and Kane, two crew members head out and encounter the creatures first when one attaches to Kane's face and won't release.
But unbeknown to them at first, the crew later learns that they were meant to land on the planet and retrieve one of these creatures, whether they themselves actually made it back to Earth alive or not. They try many different ways to escape, and many of the crew is killed in the chaos. Ripley manages to escape on a shuttle after hitting the self destruct button on the ship, but not without an alien clinging to the outside portion of her craft trying to get in. When the creature attempts to enter through the thruster vents, she fires them on which kills the creature and she is able to make the trip back to Earth.
This movie would not be nearly as good if it weren't for the incredible acting involved. Performances from Sigourney Weaver (Ripley), Tom Skerritt (Dallas) and John Hurt (Kane) really made this movie remarkable.
So if you cared to learn a little more about the "Alien" franchise, this should have been a help to that end. There is a lot to know, but if you haven't seen the film you should start there, and then you might consider renting the sequels just so that you are completely up to speed. - 40725
