Cast and Crew of Alien³

Alien³

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

In the gripping third installment of the Alien saga, "Alien³," we find our intrepid heroine, Ellen Ripley, portrayed by the talented Sigourney Weaver, in a precarious position. Accompanied by Newt and Corporal Hicks, they manage to escape the horrors of the alien planet LV-426 aboard the spaceship Sulaco. However, a sudden mechanical failure and a fire lead to a devastating crash landing on the desolate, industrial planet Fiorina 161.

Fiorina 161 is not just any planet, but a maximum-security prison established for dangerous, violent offenders. The facility, a labyrinth of dark, damp corridors and rusty machinery, is home to a notorious group of inmates, one of whom is Dillon, played by Charles S. Dutton. This hardened group of individuals has made the otherwise uninhabitable planet their brutal home. As Ripley and her companions emerge from the wreckage of the Sulaco, they find themselves caught in a different kind of nightmare.

In this grim, oppressive environment, the rules are stringent. The prison colony operates under a strict code of non-violence; weapons are strictly forbidden. The location of the colony is so remote that help is not readily available, and hope seems all but gone. Amid the chaos of the crash, Ripley learns that both Newt and Hicks have met untimely demises. To make matters worse, in what can only be described as a cruel twist of fate, it appears that the alien menace has followed them, and Ripley's battle for survival is far from over. In this desperate situation, Ripley and the prisoners must form an unlikely alliance to combat the alien threat and endure until rescue can arrive, whenever that may be.

Alien³ is part of the Alien Collection.
