‘Alien: Romulus’ Is Coming. Here’s Where You Can Stream All The ‘Alien’ Movies First
Alien: Romulus, hitting theaters August 16, brings audiences back to the universe Ridley Scott built. It’s been 45 years since the original kicked off the enduring franchise, and a rewatch is definitely in order. Whether you’re putting together a marathon or revisiting the franchise for the first time, take note: every Alien film is available to stream now.
Alien hit theaters in 1979 and is led by Sigourney Weaver in her star-making role as Ellen Ripley. The film follows the crew of the Nostromo, a commercial spaceship, as they investigate a distress call in space. They discover an aggressive alien species rampaging on a dead spaceship, turning their rescue mission into a fight for survival.
Weaver reprised her role as Ripley in three of the franchise’s eight installments: James Cameron’s Aliens, David Fincher’s Alien 3, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien Resurrection.
Fede Álvarez (2013’s Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe) directed Alien: Romulus, a standalone story set between the events of Alien and Aliens. It’s worth noting that Fede’s sequel and Noah Hawley’s Alien TV Show does not connect.
Whether you’re looking to brush up on your knowledge of the franchise before Alien: Romulus hits theaters or you’re planning an epic Alien binge session, here’s where you can stream every episode — and yes, that includes the Alien vs. Predator films.
