Ripley's fears of an alien onboard her craft are confirmed when the mutilated bodies of ex-cons start to mount.

The scientists behind the project however, have no idea as to the chaos and horror that their dangerous plan will unleash. Once again Ripley must confront her enemies, this time with the help of a motley crew of smugglers, including a mechanic named Call (Winona Ryder), who holds more than a few surprises of her own.
