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.

When a bus filled with eight elderly women breaks down in the wilderness, the group of strangers is stranded at a deserted farmhouse with only their wits, their memories and eventually some roasted frogs' legs to sustain them. For several days, the women share their life stories and intimate thoughts. Director Cynthia Scott directs these nonprofessional actors delivering largely improvised dialogue to heartwarming effect.

Traveling through a largely uninhabited area, a bus carrying eight elderly women breaks down and, as they await help, they are forced to fend for themselves. Finding refuge in a rustic and empty farmhouse, the women begin talking and eventually share many of their life experiences and memories with each other, forming an indelible bond.

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.

57 years after ALIEN, Officer Ripley awakens from hypersleep to warn the company about the aliens she encountered. It’s not until contact with the colonists of planet Acheron is lost that the company begins to take her cautionary tale seriously.

Fifty-seven years after the final moments of 'Alien,' Warrant Officer Ripley awakens from hypersleep and attempts to warn her bosses at the company that there are awful space creatures out there that invade human bodies and then come crashing boldly out of their chests and stomachs. The company doesn't think much of the story until contact with the colonists of planet Acheron is suddenly lost and it becomes evident that Ripley must go back into alien country, this time with the military in tow, to put a stop to these things.
