Alien³

After escaping with Newt and Hicks from the alien planet, Ripley crash lands on Fiorina 161, a prison planet and host to a correctional facility. Unfortunately, although Newt and Hicks do not survive the crash, a more unwelcome visitor does. The prison does not allow weapons of any kind, and with aid being a long time away, the prisoners must simply survive in any way they can.

Critically dismissed on release as a repetitive and undercooked follow-up to Aliens, the film has since attracted a more complicated reputation — its striking visual identity and Weaver's committed performance acknowledged even by detractors, while the chaotic production and David Fincher's public disowning of the project have become as much a part of its story as anything on screen. The Assembly Cut in particular has earned belated defenders who argue it plays as a substantially different and more coherent film than the theatrical version.
