Origins

• Prometheus (2012) — A team of explorers travels to the far reaches of the galaxy in search of the 'Engineers,' the supposed creators of humanity. What they find, however, is not a paradise, but an abandoned biological laboratory that holds the dark secrets of a bioweapon that threatens all life.
• Alien: Covenant (2017) — The crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers an unexplored paradise, but the dream turns into a nightmare when they meet its sole inhabitant: the android David. They soon uncover the deadly results of his experiments with the Engineers' technology, which gave rise to a new and perfect form of life.
• Alien: Earth (2025) — Two years before Ripley crosses paths with the Xenomorph, the USCSS Maginot crashes on Earth carrying a veritable zoo of space monsters — and guess who wants to get their hands on it first? A billionaire boy-genius named Boy Kavalier, of course. Amid the chaos comes Wendy, the world's first human-synthetic hybrid, leading a band of young people who are also corporate experiments. It's tense, philosophical, and in no hurry to show the creature — but when it does, it hurts.
• Alien (1979) — The crew of the mining ship Nostromo is awakened from hypersleep by a distress signal. While investigating, they bring aboard an unknown life form: a perfect organism whose sole purpose is to kill. In space, no one can hear you scream.
• Alien: Romulus (2024) — A group of young scavengers on an abandoned space station stumbles upon the most terrifying life form in the galaxy. What begins as a search for resources becomes a desperate fight for survival against a relentless creature.
• Aliens (1986) — Ripley is rescued after 57 years adrift in space. No one believes her story, until contact is lost with a colony on the very planet of her nightmare. Skeptical, she returns with a squad of Colonial Marines to face not one, but an army of aliens. 'Game over, man! Game over!'
• Alien³ (1992) — Ripley's escape pod crashes on Fiorina 'Fury' 161, a penal colony for the galaxy's worst criminals. She survives, but she didn't come alone. Weaponless and hopeless, Ripley must lead the prisoners against a new kind of Xenomorph, faster and smarter than ever.
• Alien: Resurrection (1997) — Two hundred years after her death, the military clones Ellen Ripley (and the alien queen within her). The Ripley clone has enhanced strength and a connection to the Xenomorphs, who inevitably escape. Now, she joins a group of mercenaries to destroy the ship before it reaches Earth.
