While returning to Earth, the spaceship Nostromo responds to an S.O.S. from a distant planet. Capt. Dallas (Tom Skerritt) and his crew explore the planet and discover a pod field. They approach the field for a closer look, and a creature leaps out and attaches itself to Kane (John Hurt). Despite Warrant Officer Ripley's (Sigourney Weaver) objections, Kane reenters the spaceship. Soon after, an offspring of the alien erupts from Kane's stomach and runs off. Dallas leads his group in a search for what they now see as an alien killing machine. Incredibly scary film (not for kids) that was justifiably awarded the Best Visual Effects Oscar in 1979.
