“Alien” (R/117

kills the crew of a spaceship. The commercial vessel Nostromo receives a distress call from
an unexplored planet. After searching for survivors, the crew heads home only
to realize that a deadly bioform has joined them. The
film received critical acclaim, receiving an Academy Award for Best Visual
Effects and Saturn Awards for Best Science Fiction Film, Best Direction and

for Best Dramatic Presentation.
Alien was inducted into
the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress for historical
preservation as a film that is "culturally, historically or aesthetically
significant.” In 2008, it was ranked as the seventh-best science fiction film
by the American Film Institute and as the 33rd greatest movie of all
time by Empire magazine.
