Watch the first Alien anniversary short film Alien: Containment

April 2, 2019 by Gary Collinson

Last month, 20th Century Fox announced that it is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Ridley Scott’s iconic sci-fi horror Alien with a series of six short films, and the first of those – Alien: Containment – is now available to watch online.

The synopsis for Alien: Containment reads:

“Four survivors find themselves stranded aboard a small escape pod in deep space. Trying to piece together the details around the outbreak that led to their ship’s destruction, they find themselves unsure to trust whether or not one of them might be infected.”

The remaining Alien shorts will be released weekly through to Alien Day on April 26th.
