Alien, directed by Ridley Scott and released in 1979, is a groundbreaking science fiction horror film that follows the crew of the spaceship Nostromo as they encounter a deadly extraterrestrial creature. The movie's intense atmosphere, suspenseful storytelling, and innovative visual effects set new standards for the sci-fi and horror genres. Ridley Scott's masterful direction, coupled with H.R. Giger's iconic creature design, catapulted Alien to critical acclaim and commercial success, earning it a lasting legacy as a sci-fi classic. The film significantly influenced the genre by introducing a blend of horror and science fiction elements, and its success marked a turning point in Scott's career, solidifying him as a visionary director.

This factory sealed VHS copy of Alien comes in the 1984 dated CBS Fox slipcase with rear white CBS Fox Video watermarks.

This copy has received a Box grade of 7.5 NM and a Seal grade of 7 EX by IGS.
