Aliens -- Ripley reawakens from cryogenic sleep a half-century after a narrow escape from her alien foe, only to be sent to a remote colony to help battle an infestation of Xenomorphs.

Jason Patric and Jennifer Jason Leigh star in this drama as undercover narcotics agents who become lovers when they partner up to infiltrate the Texas drug scene and bring down a suspected drug lord (Gregg Allman). But as their relationship intensifies and they become increasingly dependent on each other, they have difficulty resisting the temptations of the world they're trying to subvert ... and soon, their drug use becomes more than just a cover.

Sigourney Weaver stars in Aliens, the sequel to the 1979 blockbuster Alien, reprising her role as Officer Ripley, the sole survivor of the spaceship Nostromo’s encounter with a deadly extraterrestrial. This time she returns to the very planet where her nightmare originally began with a squad of heavily armed marines, in a search-and-rescue mission for some missing space colonists.

The planet from Alien has been colonized, but contact is lost. This time, the rescue team has impressive firepower, but will it be enough?
