Aliens 5

Across the four-hour runtime, we dive into innumerable stories that take you behind-the-scenes and under-the-skin - here are just a few of our favorites:

Winning Over Ripley: Director James Cameron and the cast recall what it took to persuade Sigourney Weaver to return after her contract had lapsed, including Cameron’s cunning plan to persuade the studio to make her the highest paid actress in Hollywood.

Remembering Bill Paxton: in a highly emotive segment, Jenette Goldstein (Vasquez), Mark Rolston (Drake), Cynthia Scott (Corporal Dietrich), Carrie Henn (Newt), and James Cameron recall working with Bill Paxton, and how he became the untameable, beloved, heartbeat of the production and a friend to everyone.
