In celebration of the 45th anniversary of Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi/horror masterpiece ALIEN, the film will return to cinemas for a limited time on April 26, known worldwide as Alien Day. Tickets are now available for purchase at Fandango or wherever tickets are sold.

It is the terrifying tale of a crew aboard a commercial spacecraft that lands on an alien planet to investigate a mysterious transmission of unknown origin and encounters the deadliest lifeform in the universe.
