The iconic ALIEN hits the Genesis screen for one night only.
Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi horror classic tears through space with claws out. Sigourney Weaver's Ripley is not just a survivor, she’s an original Final Girl, decades before the term even existed. Ripley wrote a rulebook that has been copied ever since. The only way out is to become a warrior. (Or be Jones the cat.)
Because Alien wasn't just a horror or sci-fi classic. It was one of the most quietly radical feminist films of the 70s. Forty-plus years later, it's still blazing a trail.
In space, no one can hear you scream. We can at the Genesis.
