The crew of the USCSS Nostromo from ALIEN 1979 were just ordinary workers, hauling cargo through deep space in 2122. But when they answered a mysterious distress call, they found themselves face-to-face with one of cinema’s most terrifying creatures. In this video, we take a closer look at each member of the Nostromo’s ill-fated crew from Alien (1979)—from Captain Dallas to Warrant Officer Ripley—and explore how their personalities, choices, and fates shaped one of the greatest sci-fi horror stories ever told.
