A visceral sci-fi horror action film that blends creature terror with themes of genetic manipulation and identity, driven by high-octane set pieces and body-horror spectacle.

Two hundred years after Lt. Ripley died, a group of scientists clone her, hoping to breed the ultimate weapon. But the new Ripley is full of surprises … as are the new aliens. Ripley must team with a band of smugglers to keep the creatures from reaching Earth.
