Aliens is a 1986 sci-fi/horror film directed by James Cameron and is the first sequel to the 1979 Ridley Scott film Alien. A Special Edition of Aliens was released in 1992 on laserdisc and VHS that restored seventeen minutes of deleted footage. Along with the other sequels, Aliens was packaged as part of the nine-disc Aliens Quadrology DVD collection. The plot of Aliens continues the saga of Ellen Ripley, sole survivor of the previous film who has now been thrust fifty-seven years into the future and must return to the planet where she first encountered the dangerous alien species. Accompanying her on this journey are an elite squad of soldiers known as the Colonial Marines. This time however, Ripley doesn't have just one alien menace to contend with, but hundreds.
