Poster for Alien: Director's Cut

Alien is the 1979 science fiction film that launched the Alien film franchise. Directed by Ridley Scott, the movie revolves around a space transport crew who stumble upon an alien lifeform that poses a grave threat to their lives. The film launched the movie career of Sigourney Weaver and would spawn three direct sequels: Aliens, Alien³, and Alien Resurrection as well as the Alien vs. Predator series of films. For the twentieth anniversary, Scott released a "Director's Cut", which added back several scenes. A new film which is purported to be a prequel to this one is currently being prepped to be directed by Scott.

The following weapons were used in the film Alien:


Custom Flamethrower
