Synopsis
In space they still can't hear you scream.

James Cameron takes on the mantle and runs with it in this intensely frightening Oscar-winning sequel. Sigourney Weaver reprises her role as Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley who returns to the planet where her nightmare originally began with a bunch of muscular, heavily armed marines, in a search-and-rescue mission for some missing space colonists.

Support cast includes Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser and Bill Paxton.

TRIVIA:
All of the cast who were to play Marines were trained by the S.A.S. (Special Air Service, Britain's elite anti-terrorist force) for two weeks before filming; Lance Henriksen wanted to wear double-pupil contact lenses to gives a scary, but James Cameron decided he didn't need them as he already had just the right amount of creepiness; Ripley's miniature bathroom in her apartment is actually a British Airways toilet, purchased from the airline.
