After drifting through space in hypersleep for 57 years, Ellen Ripley returns to Earth as the only survivor of a deadly alien encounter. When contact is lost with the colony on LV-426, the same world where her crew first found the creature, Sigourney Weaver's Ripley agrees to go back with a unit of Colonial Marines. Michael Biehn and Paul Reiser are among the mission team as the investigation moves from a corporate hearing room to a silent colony marked by violence and abandonment. In James Cameron's sequel, Ripley is no longer recounting what happened; she's heading straight back into it.
