Aliens
1986
Ellen Ripley returns to the moon where the Nostromo's crew encountered the alien, this time accompanying a unit of battle-hardened Colonial Marines who are entirely unprepared for what they find waiting for them. James Cameron's sequel transforms the original's claustrophobic horror into a breathless action blockbuster.
