Alien is a 1979 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott and  written by Dan O'Bannon. Based on a story by O'Bannon and Ronald  Shusett, it follows the crew of the commercial space tug Nostromo, who,  after coming across a mysterious derelict spaceship on an undiscovered  moon, find themselves up against an aggressive and deadly  extraterrestrial set loose on the Nostromo. The film stars Tom Skerritt,  Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt,  Ian Holm, and Yaphet Kotto. It was produced by Gordon Carroll, David  Giler, and Walter Hill through their company Brandywine Productions, and  was distributed by 20th Century Fox. Giler and Hill revised and made  additions to the script; Shusett was executive producer. The Alien and  its accompanying artifacts were designed by the Swiss artist H. R.  Giger, while concept artists Ron Cobb and Chris Foss designed the more  human settings.
