It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.

This masterpiece sci-fi horror film was directed by Ridley Scott, written by Dan O'Bannon, and stars Tom Skerritt and Sigourney Weaver. It took a little time to get off the ground, with many rewrites and presentations to various studios. It really wasn't until the success of Star Wars in 1977 that ignited 20th Century Fox's interest in sci-fi films. It was then that Alien got the green light, and cinema-goers were introduced to the alien egg and the brilliant tagline 'In space, no one can hear you scream.'
