Despite the success of Alien, its sequel took years to develop due to lawsuits, a lack of enthusiasm from <a href="/wiki/20th_Century_Fox" class="mw-redirect" title="20th Century Fox">20th Century Fox</a>, and repeated management changes. Although relatively inexperienced, Cameron was hired to write a story for Aliens in 1983 on the strength of his scripts for <a href="/wiki/The_Terminator" title="The Terminator">The Terminator</a> (1984) and <a href="/wiki/Rambo:_First_Blood_Part_II" title="Rambo: First Blood Part II">Rambo: First Blood Part II</a> (1985). The project stalled again until new Fox executive <a href="/wiki/Lawrence_Gordon_(producer)" title="Lawrence Gordon (producer)">Lawrence Gordon</a> pursued a sequel. On an approximately $18.5 million budget, Aliens began <a href="/wiki/Principal_photography" title="Principal photography">principal photography</a> in September 1985 and concluded in January 1986. The film's development was tumultuous and rife with conflicts between Cameron and the British crew at <a href="/wiki/Pinewood_Studios" title="Pinewood Studios">Pinewood Studios</a>. The difficult shoot affected the composer, <a href="/wiki/James_Horner" title="James Horner">James Horner</a>, who was given little time to record the music. Aliens was released on July 18, 1986, to critical acclaim. Reviewers praised its action, but some criticized the intensity of some scenes. Weaver's performance garnered consistent praise along with those of <a href="/wiki/Bill_Paxton" title="Bill Paxton">Bill Paxton</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jenette_Goldstein" title="Jenette Goldstein">Jenette Goldstein</a>. The film received several awards and nominations, including an <a href="/wiki/Academy_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Academy Award">Academy Award</a> nomination for <a href="/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Actress" title="Academy Award for Best Actress">Best Actress</a> for Weaver at a time when the science-fiction genre was generally overlooked. It earned $131.1–183.3 million during its theatrical run, making it one of the <a href="/wiki/1986_in_film" title="1986 in film">highest-grossing films of 1986</a> worldwide. Aliens is now considered among the greatest <a href="/wiki/1980s_in_film" title="1980s in film">films of the 1980s</a>, and among the best science fiction, action, and sequel films ever made, arguably equal to or better than Alien.<a href="#cite_note-8">[a]</a> It is credited with expanding the franchise's scope with additions to the series' backstory and factions such as the Colonial Marines. It inspired a variety of merchandise, including video games, comic books and toys.

After contact is lost with the colony, Weyland-Yutani representative Carter Burke and Colonial Marine Lieutenant Gorman ask Ripley to accompany them to investigate. Still traumatized by her alien encounter, she agrees on the condition that they exterminate the creatures. Ripley is introduced to the Colonial Marines on the spaceship Sulaco but is distrustful of their <a href="/wiki/Android_(robot)" title="Android (robot)">android</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bishop_(Aliens)" title="Bishop (Aliens)">Bishop</a>, because the <a href="/wiki/Ash_(Alien)" title="Ash (Alien)">android aboard the Nostromo</a> had betrayed its crew to protect the alien on company orders. A <a href="/wiki/Shuttlecraft" title="Shuttlecraft">dropship</a> delivers the expedition to the surface of LV-426, where they find the battle-ravaged colony and two live <a href="/wiki/Facehugger" class="mw-redirect" title="Facehugger">alien facehuggers</a> in containment tanks, but no bodies or colonists, except for a traumatized young girl nicknamed Newt. The team locates the colonists beneath the <a href="/wiki/Fusion_power" title="Fusion power">fusion-powered</a> atmosphere processing station and heads to their location, descending into corridors covered in alien secretions. At the station's center, the Marines find opened eggs and dead facehuggers alongside the cocooned colonists, now serving as incubators for the creatures' offspring. The Marines kill an <a href="/wiki/Chestburster" class="mw-redirect" title="Chestburster">infant alien</a> after it bursts from a colonist's chest, rousing several adult aliens who ambush the Marines, killing or capturing many of them. When the inexperienced Gorman panics, Ripley assumes command, takes control of their <a href="/wiki/Armored_personnel_carrier" class="mw-redirect" title="Armored personnel carrier">armored personnel carrier</a>, and rams the nest to rescue Corporal <a href="/wiki/Dwayne_Hicks" title="Dwayne Hicks">Dwayne Hicks</a> and Privates <a href="/wiki/Hudson_(Aliens)" title="Hudson (Aliens)">Hudson</a> and Vasquez. Hicks orders the dropship to recover the survivors, but a stowaway alien kills the pilots, causing the dropship to crash into the station. Almost out of ammunition and resources, the survivors barricade themselves inside the colony. Ripley discovers that Burke ordered the colonists to investigate the derelict spaceship containing the alien eggs, intending to profit by recovering them for <a href="/wiki/Biological_weapon" class="mw-redirect" title="Biological weapon">biological weapon</a> research. Before she can expose him, Bishop informs the group that the dropship crash damaged the power plant's cooling system, and the plant will soon overheat and explode, destroying the colony. He volunteers to travel to the colony transmitter and remotely pilot the Sulaco's remaining dropship to the surface. After falling asleep in the medical laboratory, Ripley and Newt awaken to find themselves trapped with the two released facehuggers. Ripley triggers a fire alarm to alert the Marines, who rescue them and kill the creatures. She accuses Burke of releasing the facehuggers to implant her and Newt with alien embryos, allowing him to smuggle them through Earth's quarantine. The power is suddenly cut, and aliens attack through the ceiling. In the ensuing firefight, the aliens kill Burke, subdue Hudson, and injure Hicks; the cornered Gorman and Vasquez sacrifice themselves to avoid capture. Newt is separated from Ripley and taken by the creatures. Ripley brings Hicks to Bishop in the second dropship, but she refuses to abandon Newt and arms herself before descending into the processing station hive alone to rescue her. During their escape, they encounter the alien queen surrounded by dozens of eggs, and when one begins to open, Ripley uses her weapons to destroy them all and the queen's <a href="/wiki/Ovipositor" title="Ovipositor">ovipositor</a>. Pursued by the enraged queen, Ripley and Newt join Bishop and Hicks on the dropship and escape moments before the station explodes, consuming the colony in a nuclear blast. Aboard the Sulaco, the group is ambushed by the queen, who stowed away in the dropship's landing gear. The queen tears Bishop in half and advances on Newt, but Ripley fights the creature with an <a href="/wiki/Exosuit" class="mw-redirect" title="Exosuit">exosuit</a> cargo loader and expels it through an <a href="/wiki/Airlock" title="Airlock">airlock</a> into space while the damaged Bishop keeps Newt safe. Ripley, Newt, Hicks, and Bishop then enter hypersleep for their return trip to Earth. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2>[<a

It featured a makeshift construction from cargo containers, broken filming equipment, and beer crates.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShay198612,_14-92">[86]</a> The alien nest scene was one of the earliest filmed; Weaver's participation was delayed by three weeks because of production issues on her previous film <a href="/wiki/Half_Moon_Street_(film)" title="Half Moon Street (film)">Half Moon Street</a> (1986), and the scene was one of the few not involving her. The Acton Power Station location was filled with decaying <a href="/wiki/Asbestos" title="Asbestos">asbestos</a> and three weeks were spent having it professionally cleaned, during which time the alien hive was fabricated in clay spawning hundreds of fiberglass and vacuum-formed castings that were installed at the station over a further three weeks.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShay198615-93">[87]</a> Cameron wanted to <a href="/wiki/Panning_(camera)" title="Panning (camera)">vertically pan</a> as the marines entered the hive, but disguising the area above the marines would be time-intensive. A hanging miniature, about 12-foot (3.7 m) square, was made from plywood and styrofoam, hung just above the actors' heads, and carefully blended into the larger set.

Cameron also contributed to designs but was not as concerned with the warrior aliens because they were on screen only briefly.<a href="#cite_note-SyFyMakingOfBook-100">[94]</a> In redesigning the alien warriors, Cameron remained faithful to Giger's work while building on it. Conscious that the creatures would be seen by audiences as people in costumes, he enhanced the designs by extending their arms and often filmed them hung from wires or from atypical positions to make them appear more inhuman.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShay19869-63">[58]</a> The aliens were played by dancers and stuntmen in lightweight costumes that allowed them to move quickly. Several 8-foot (2.4 m) mannequins were used for aliens that were contorted into inhuman poses.<a href="#cite_note-ABCNews30Things-42">[39]</a> Although hordes of alien creatures appear to be in the film, there were only 12 alien suits: simple black leotards covered in molded foam were used for faster-moving shots, and <a href="/wiki/Theatrical_property#Hero_props" class="mw-redirect" title="Theatrical property">detailed models</a> with articulated upper bodies and mouths for closeups.<a href="#cite_note-StanWinstonAlienWarriors-102">[96]</a> When the aliens were shot and destroyed, puppets were hung up and detonated. The aliens' acidic blood was a combination of <a href="/wiki/Titanium_tetrachloride" title="Titanium tetrachloride">titanium tetrachloride</a>, <a href="/wiki/Cyclohexylamine" title="Cyclohexylamine">cyclohexylamine</a>, <a href="/wiki/Acetic_acid" title="Acetic acid">acetic acid</a> and yellow dye.<a href="#cite_note-ABCNews30Things-42">[39]</a> The facehugger design remained faithful to the original Alien design, but the overall appearance was made to appear more organic, and its eight legs were made more finger-like, enhancing the detail on the knuckles and adding fingernails.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShay198628-103">[97]</a> Unlike in Alien, which only involved one substantial jumping scene, the facehugger models used in Aliens featured full articulation for their tongue, legs, and tail, allowing for more action set pieces. The tail was also lengthened about 6 in (15 cm) to give it more functions such as a whip-like action.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShay198628-103">[97]</a> Nine operators were required for the fully articulated facehugger; other less-detailed variants were used for simple actions such as scurrying across the floor. The design team struggled with making it scuttle believably while moving the appendages; they eventually developing a control wire along the floor that activated a gear inside it, causing the appendages to move as it was pulled along. Several rubber facehuggers were made to be thrown or blown up.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShay198628–29-104">[98]</a> Manipulating the facehugger inside a water tank was also difficult as the tank had to be watertight, limiting the use of control cables. A method was developed that required fewer cables to move the facehugger around the tank; the tail was fitted with a spring that caused it to snap back and forth.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShay198628-103">[97]</a> Winston added arms to the chestburster alien form (since the adult form had arms), explaining how it could drag itself out of a host's chest. Two chestburster puppets were used: a reinforced one, and an articulated one for movement. A puppeteer punched the former through a fabricated latex-foam chest; the scene took several takes to film because it could not pierce the clothing.<a href="#cite_note-StanWinstonColes-20">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-StanWinston-105">[99]</a> A deleted scene in Alien established a life cycle for the alien creatures in which a lifeform would be cocooned and transformed into an egg that birthed a facehugger.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShay19869-63">[58]</a><a href="#cite_note-IGNEgg-106">[100]</a> Inspired by a <a href="/wiki/Beehive" title="Beehive">beehive</a>-like hierarchy, Cameron believed the vast field of eggs on the derelict alien craft would come from a much larger creature, the queen, with the other alien creatures serving as her drones.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShay19869-63">[58]</a> Winston described Cameron's initial queen design as a combination of a <a href="/wiki/Praying_mantis" class="mw-redirect" title="Praying mantis">praying mantis</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tyrannosaurus_rex" class="mw-redirect" title="Tyrannosaurus rex">Tyrannosaurus rex</a> influenced by the alien warrior design.<a href="#cite_note-SyFyMakingOfBook-100">[94]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShay198640-107">[101]</a> Cameron said <a href="/wiki/Dinosaur" title="Dinosaur">dinosaur</a> influences were unintentional as he considered them "boring"; his goal was to extrapolate on Giger's warrior designs to create a large and powerful creature that was also swift and overtly female, describing it as "hideous and beautiful at the same time, like a black widow spider". The queen has elongated, large forelimbs, with smaller secondary ones underneath, but Winston redesigned the legs by adding a double joint to make it more inhuman.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEShay198640-107">[101]</a> Cameron and Winston worked on several concepts to vivify the queen, including large puppets, miniatures, and costumes with several people inside. A frame was built large enough to hold two people, covered in black polythene bags, and hung on a crane. The prototype was a success, and Cameron wrote the alien-queen scene.<a href="#cite_note-FSR36Things-40">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-EWPowerLoader-108">[102]</a> The final alien queen was a 14-foot (4.3 m) puppet made of lightweight polyurethane foam.<a href="#cite_note-Telegraph11Things-96">[90]</a> Two people sat inside to control the arms; the legs were controlled by rods connected at the ankles, and a separate person whipped the tail around with fishing line. The head was manipulated with a combination of <a href="/wiki/Servomotor" title="Servomotor">servomotors</a> and hydraulics controlled by up to four people. The effect was hidden by lighting, steam, slime, and smoke.<a href="#cite_note-FSR36Things-40">[37]</a><a href="#cite_note-EWPowerLoader-108">[102]</a> The Stan Winston Studio had not used hydraulics and considered them a learning experience. They were essential for moving larger parts of the queen puppet, including the head, and a foot pedal in the body could hydraulically move the tail up and down.<a href="#cite_note-StanWinstonTheQueen-82">[76]</a> <a href="/wiki/Shane_Mahan" title="Shane Mahan">Shane Mahan</a> took several weeks to sculpt the head by sight, based on a <a href="/wiki/Maquette" title="Maquette">maquette</a>; computer technology to scale up the model's design did not yet exist.<a href="#cite_note-StanWinstonQueenHead-109">[103]</a> Two heads were built: a lightweight, fragile one; and another that could survive some damage. Each was articulated with hydraulics and cables to control the queen's mouth and lips.<a href="#cite_note-StanWinstonTheQueen-82">[76]</a> To create the effect of the queen piercing Bishop's chest with her tail, <a href="/wiki/Tom_Woodruff_Jr." title="Tom Woodruff Jr.">Tom Woodruff Jr.</a> and Alec Gillis constructed a <a href="/wiki/Chestplate" class="mw-redirect" title="Chestplate">chestplate</a> for Henriksen with a rubber segment of the queen's tail flattened against it. The tail was pulled forward by wire, apparently exploding through Bishop's torso. A rigid piece of tail, attached to a body harness, was used to show more of the tail moving through Bishop, and Henriksen was levered upward as if he was being lifted by the tail. To complete the effect, a dummy of Bishop was constructed with a spring-loaded mechanism that forcibly separated his upper and lower body, as if the queen had ripped him in half. Once separated, Henriksen's upper body was below the set and a fake torso attached up to his shoulders. The android blood was milk, and after several days of filming, it was sour and foul-smelling.<a href="#cite_note-StanWinstonQueenBishop-110">[104]</a> John Richardson designed the mechanical power loader exosuit, with input from Mead.
