Alien is a 1979 documentary film by Ridley Scott.
In the News
Noel Harrison was an early admirer of Scott's work.
Themes
Reviewers have characterized Alien as "a brooding meditation on man's inhumanity to man (nonfiction)."
Box-office failure
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.
Fiction cross-reference
Nonfiction cross-reference
This victim of Nazi inhumanity still rests in the position in which he died, attempting to rise and escape his horrible death. See Man's Inhumanity to Man.
