Alien: Romulus follows a group of young space colonists who venture into the cold, decaying corridors of a forgotten space station, scavenging for supplies and answers. But what they find is not salvage—it’s survival at its most brutal.

Lurking in the shadows is the galaxy’s most iconic predator: the Xenomorph, relentless and perfect in its design. As fear spreads and the crew is picked off one by one, the colonists must fight for their lives, with no weapons, no backup, and nowhere to run.

This standalone installment in the Alien franchise returns to the series’ claustrophobic horror roots, delivering a visceral, blood-soaked thriller that pits youth and vulnerability against an unstoppable nightmare.
