Alien

Launched in 1979 by Ridley Scott with Alien, the Alien saga became a landmark in science fiction and horror cinema. Combining suspense, claustrophobic atmosphere, and the iconic xenomorph creatures, it left a lasting cultural impact. The franchise expanded with sequels (Aliens, Alien 3, Resurrection), crossovers (Alien vs Predator), and prequels (Prometheus, Alien: Covenant), exploring both human survival and the origins of these terrifying beings.
