Terrifingly shocking masterpiece about a commercial spacecraft responding to a distress signal from a derlict spacecraft with mysterious, haunting results onboard while bringing back an unauthorizied passenger.Scott's gothic direction, Weaver's essential performance, Oscar-winning special effects, Jerry Goldsmith's haunting score, and the ominous score all contribute to the film's essential viewing. Successfully followed by "Aliens"(1986) and two other sequels and influenced various rip-offs.
