20th Century Fox
studioFilms released by 20th Century Fox, home to Alien, Predator and Planet of the Apes.
The Day the Earth Stood Still
A flying saucer lands in Washington, D.C., and out steps Klaatu, a humanoid alien with an ultimatum: abandon nuclear weapons and the violence they represent, or Earth will be destroyed as a threat to the wider galaxy. Escaping military custody to live quietly among ordinary Americans, Klaatu — accompanied everywhere by his silent, seemingly all-powerful robot Gort — searches for someone who will actually listen before his patience runs out.
Planet of the Apes
Astronaut George Taylor crash-lands on a distant planet where intelligent, talking apes rule as masters and mute, primitive humans are hunted as livestock and lab animals. Captured, caged, and stripped of his voice, Taylor must prove he's more than an animal to a ruling class of apes who have built their entire civilization on a founding lie about how the world came to be this way.
Star Wars
A farm boy on a desert planet intercepts a distress call hidden in a droid, and is swept into a galactic rebellion alongside a cynical smuggler, a fugitive princess and the last of an ancient order of knights — with a moon-sized battle station waiting at the end of the run.
Alien
The commercial towing vessel Nostromo, hauling ore between stars, is diverted by company order to investigate a signal from a dead world. What the crew brings back aboard has a life cycle perfectly designed to use them — and their employer knew.
Aliens
Ellen Ripley, sole survivor of the Nostromo, is found drifting after 57 years in hypersleep — and nobody believes her story. When contact is lost with a colony on the very world where her crew found the derelict ship, she returns with a unit of cocky Colonial Marines. This time it isn't one alien.
Predator
An elite rescue team led by Dutch Schaefer is dropped into a Central American jungle for a routine hostage extraction. The mission is a lie, and something else is in the canopy — a creature that hunts humans for sport, sees in heat, and collects skulls as trophies.
Strange Days
Los Angeles, the last two days of 1999. Lenny Nero, ex-cop turned black-market dealer, sells SQUID recordings — full sensory captures of other people's experiences, straight from their cerebral cortex to yours. Addicted to replaying tapes of his own lost relationship, Lenny is dragged out of his loop when a snuff recording lands in his hands: evidence of a murder that connects to his ex, a music-industry conspiracy, and a police killing that could set the burning city off entirely.
The Day the Earth Stood Still
An alien visitor named Klaatu arrives on Earth inside a glowing sphere, escorted by an enormous, silent robotic guardian called Gort — this time carrying an ultimatum about humanity's environmental destruction rather than its nuclear weapons. As government agents scramble to contain him and astrobiologist Helen Benson tries to understand his true intentions, Klaatu must decide whether a species this reckless with its own planet deserves to survive at all.
