In deep space, the crew of the commercial ship Nostromo is returning home after harvesting ore.  The crew is awakened from their cryo-sleep capsules, halfway through their journey home on account of a distress call from an unknown planet. The tale unfolds as they further look into the S.O.S. distress call from an abandoned, battered commercial space vessel--only to discover that it's a warning call, rather than a call for help. However, it is too late to turn back as three members of the crew have already left to investigate the derelict ship. Far away in space and time, all seven encounter an awesome galactic horror that has been sleeping far too long and is very, very hungry.
