Two films. One nightmare. We’re bring the theatrical cut of Alien and the Director’s Cut of Aliens to The Frida Cinema for a double feature celebrating two of the greatest sci-fi films ever made!
First, Ridley Scott’s Alien sends warrant officer Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and the crew of the Nostromo into a fight for survival against the perfect killing machine. Then, after a ten minute intermission, James Cameron’s Aliens brings Ripley back for a return trip to LV-426, where an entire colony has gone silent…and there’s a whole lot more than one Xenomorph waiting for them.
This very special pairing comes at the tail-end of celebrating the 40th anniversary of Aliens and also doubling as a tribute to the late, great Tom Skerritt!
