Aliens: The Illustrated Screenplay

The only survivor of the "Nostromo", Ripley is discovered in deep sleep half a century later by a salvage ship. When she is taken back to Earth, she learns that a human colony was founded on the same planet where the aliens were first found. After contact with the colony is lost, she finds herself sent back to the planet along with a team of warriors bent on destroying the alien menace forever, and saving any survivors - if any remain.

James Cameron took Ridley Scott's stylish noir sci-fi thriller 'Alien' and used the characters to create a "western in space" tour de force.

For the first time the complete script of James Cameron's 'Aliens' has been cleared for publication. This unique book includes the complete script including scenes filmed but not released into the theatres and hitherto unseen stills from the film.
