In space, no one can hear you argue about labor relations. One of the greatest working-class sci-fi films of all time, ALIEN excels not for showing a gleaming vision of the future but for keeping it (figuratively) grounded when a hardworking crew of space salvage workers come under attack from a dangerously efficient alien killing-machine.
