Aliens is a 1986 science fiction horror movie starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Lance Henriksen, Carrie Henn, Bill Paxton & Paul Reiser. It is a sequel to the 1979 Alien. Directed by James Cameron from a story written by him, David Giler & Walter Hill, the film is more a high-paced, action adventure than the tense sci-fi horror of the first film. It was tremedously successful, following Camerons The Terminator in helping to establish him as a major action director. The film, like its predecessor, was shot in England on a budget of only about $18 million. The production was somewhat problematic, marred by several disputes between Cameron & the film crew, which eventually led to an all-out strike late in the production. In this film, Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley, the only human survivor of Alien, is rescued from space after 57 years in hypersleep. She learns that a colony has been founded on LV-426, where she first encountered the alien. When contact with the colony is lost Ripley is drafted to assist a squad of gung-ho Colonial Marines to investigate. Posters Of Aliens
