 The crew of "The Nostromo,"
a commercial towing vehicle, was nearly decimated by a savage
new animal after they made an unscheduled rescue stop on an unoccupied
planet. 57 years later, the sole survivors, Ripley and her cat,
are found floating around the universe by a deep-space salvage
expedition. Once she recovers from the effects of hyperspace,
Ripley attempts to warn her superiors at the Company of the dangers
of the monster, but she is ignored and informed that the planet
has been colonized for years without incident. When the Company
loses contact with the colonists, however, they decide to send
in the Marines, with Ripley as an advisor. Academy Award Nominations:
7, including Best Actress--Sigourney Weaver, Best Original Score.
