When the crew realizes they are not alone on the spaceship, they must deal with the consequences.Then, we check out the 1986 science fiction action film directed by James Cameron, Aliens!57 years after Ellen Ripley had a close encounter with an alien creature, she is called back, this time to help a group of highly trained colonial marines fight off against the sinister extraterrestrials. The aliens have taken over a space colony on the moon LV-426.
