Product description

As one of the most respected film sequels of all time, "Aliens" quickly burned itself into the minds of moviegoers around the world when it was released in 1986. Driven by the vision of director James Cameron and led by producer Gale Ann Hurd, the relentless action and memorable characters helped make the film a classic of 1980s cinema.

"Aliens - The Origin Story" tells the complete story of how Cameron and Hurd brought the heroine Ellen Ripley back to the screen. And how they even increased the threat by having to deal with an entire army of aliens against whom she had to fight.

Interviews with the cast and crew, as well as photos and concept art, illustrate the film's eventful journey from its beginnings as a sequel that no one wanted to make to its transformation into one of the highest-grossing blockbusters of the decade.
