It’s been 40 years since one of the greatest sci-fi/horror films of all time was released and we are celebrating at The Castro Theatre with a 4K presentation of James Cameron’s original vision, the Special Edition! Personally supervised directly by James Cameron with pristine transfer quality, this is the version preferred by fans and critics as the complete structural narrative of this unforgettable story. Don’t miss your chance to see the ultimate version of this classic on the Castro screen!

After floating in space for 57 years, Lt. Ripley’s shuttle is found by a deep space salvage team. Upon arriving at LV-426, the marines find only one survivor, a nine-year-old girl named Newt. But even these battle-hardened marines with all the latest weaponry are no match for the hundreds of aliens that have invaded the colony.
