## Description

When the starship Nostromo receives a distress call from a lifeless planet on its way to Earth, the crew is obliged by their regulations to investigate the signal. During their explorations, they come across an abandoned spaceship, and the analysis of the signal reveals that it is not a distress call, but a warning. They find strange eggs in the spaceship, and by the time they figure out what they are, it's already too late.
