Aliens is the second installment in the Alien franchise, which began with Ridley Scott's 1979 film, Alien. While the first film introduced audiences to the deadly Xenomorph, Aliens takes place 57 years after the events of the original, following Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) as she returns to the planet LV-426 with a group of space marines to investigate the loss of contact with a terraforming colony. What ensues is a claustrophobic, action-packed thrill ride that has become a benchmark for sci-fi sequels.
