Alien³

3 times the suspense. 3 times the danger. 3 times the terror

1992114 min6.4 / 10

A claustrophobic, bleak sci-fi horror film where a desperate group of prisoners must survive an alien threat in a weaponless dystopian facility, with redemption and sacrifice as its thematic core.

After escaping with Newt and Hicks from the alien planet, Ripley crash lands on Fiorina 161, a prison planet and host to a correctional facility. Unfortunately, although Newt and Hicks do not survive the crash, a more unwelcome visitor does. The prison does not allow weapons of any kind, and with aid being a long time away, the prisoners must simply survive in any way they can.
