We'd like to invite all fans of the legendary science fiction saga to spend the evening in the company of officer Ellen Ripley.
The film marathon will start with director's cut version of Alien, the most famous science fiction production by Ridley Scott next to Blade Runner. The main character is portrayed by Sigourney Weaver, for whom this film was a beginning of an international career. Alien has started the first American series in history with a female, heroic lead. Ellen Ripley's story continues in the film Aliens directed by James Cameron (Titanic, Avatar). Cameron's work was nominated for seven Academy Awards, finally winning two Oscars.

Fifty seven years after Ellen Ripley survived her disastrous ordeal, her escape vessel is recovered after drifting across the galaxy as she slept in cryogenic stasis. Back on Earth, nobody believed her story about the "Aliens" on the moon LV-426. After the "Company" orders the colony on LV-426 to investigate, however, all communication with the colony is lost. The Company enlists Ripley to aid a team of tough, rugged space marines on a rescue mission to the now partially terraformed moon to find out if there are aliens or survivors. As the mission unfolds, Ripley will be forced to come to grips with her worst nightmare, but even as she does, she finds that the worst is yet to come.
