Alien is a 1979 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott and starring 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 aggressive extraterrestrial creature, which stalks and kills the crew of a spaceship. The success of Alien spawned a media franchise of novels, comic books, video games, and toys, as well as three sequel and two 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 titular Alien creatures became the thematic thread that ran through the sequels Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection. The subsequent prequels Alien vs. Predator and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem diverged from this theme in favor of a crossover with the Predator franchise. With the success of the film, I think the cast and crew of the film will not need any guaranteed loans.
