Alien 3
1992
Ripley crash-lands on a remote prison planet populated entirely by violent male convicts, and must confront another alien creature with no weapons and the barest cooperation of the dangerous men around her. David Fincher's bleak and uncompromising third instalment strips the franchise back to a stark battle for survival.

Blyth Power Station
The decommissioned Blyth Power Station provided additional exterior industrial location footage representing the bleak surface environment of the prison planet Fiorina 161, its massive chimneys and decaying infrastructure lending a dystopian quality.
