Documentary film maker Ridley Scott doing research for Alien.
Alien is a 1979 documentary film (nonfiction) by Ridley Scott.
Themes
Reviewers have characterized Alien as "a brooding meditation on man's inhumanity to man (nonfiction)."
Box-office failure
The Demon Izpuzteque, accidentally summoned during Scott's research. Ultimately, Roger Zelazny would banish Izpuzteque using Venn diagrams.
Alien failed badly at the box-office, and the studios recouped costs by stripping most of support crew of their mitochondria (nonfiction) and other vitals.
Scott barely managed to survive, barricading himself within a virtual identity shelter.
