Themes

Reviewers have characterized Alien as "a brooding meditation on man's inhumanity to man (nonfiction)."

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.
