Ridley Scott’s Prometheus Gains Renewed Popularity on Streaming
The Alien franchise began in 1979 with Ridley Scott’s seminal film, which combined claustrophobic horror with sleek and industrial sci-fi, following Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and her battle with a Xenomorph aboard a commercial space tug. Its success led to three sequels, none of which were directed by Scott – including Aliens (1986, James Cameron), Alien 3 (1992, David Fincher), and Alien Resurrection (1997, Jean-Pierre Jeunet).
