Alien: Covenant (2017) is a sci-fi horror film directed by Ridley Scott and serves as a sequel to Prometheus (2012) and a prequel to the original Alien (1979). The story follows the crew of the colony ship Covenant, who are en route to a distant planet when they receive a mysterious distress signal. Diverting their course, they arrive on an uncharted world that appears to be a paradise but soon turns into a nightmare.
As they explore, the crew encounters deadly alien creatures and the synthetic android David (Michael Fassbender), the sole survivor of the Prometheus mission. David harbors dark secrets about the origins of the terrifying Xenomorphs and his own twisted experiments. When the crew is attacked by monstrous Neomorphs and Xenomorphs, they must fight for survival against overwhelming odds.
Filled with intense horror, stunning visuals, and deep philosophical themes about creation and artificial intelligence, Alien: Covenant expands on the mythology of the Alien franchise. It blends the existential questions raised in Prometheus with the brutal, visceral horror that made the original Alien a classic.
