Alien: Resurrection
The fourth Alien movie, set 200 years after Alien 3. Winona Ryder joins franchise heroine Sigourney Weaver, while Frenchman Jean-Pierre Jeunet (who would go on to do Amelie) directs a script by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).
Aboard the space station Auriga, doctors clone Ellen Ripley (Weaver) to harvest the alien queen implanted in her body when she died. Hoping to study the alien and foolishly believing they can contain it, the ship's military personnel soon have a flesh crunching savage on the loose. It's up to Ripley again to destroy the being, before the Auriga arrives on Earth.
