Plot
Shortly after the Colonial Marine spaceship Sulaco escapes the planet LV-426, an alien egg hatches on board, releasing a facehugger that attacks the crew in cryonic stasis. A fire starts and the ship's computer ejects an escape pod with Ellen Ripley, "Newt" Jorden, Cpl. Hicks, and the damaged android Bishop still in their stasis chambers. The pod crash-lands on Fiorina "Fury" 161, a foundry and maximum-security correctional facility inhabited by male inmates with a genetic predisposition for antisocial behavior. The inmates recover the crashed pod and its passengers. The facehugger approaches inmate Thomas Murphy's dog, Spike.
