What the box says:  In this action-packed sequel to Alien, Sigourney Weaver returns as Ripley, the only survivor from mankind's first encounter with the monstrous Alien.  Her account of the Alien and the fate of her crew are received with skepticism - until the mysterious disappearance of colonists on LV-426 lead her to join a team of high-tech colonial marines sent in to investigate.  Personally supervised by director James Cameron, this special edition includes scenes eliminated prior to to the film's 1986 release which broaden the narrative scope and enrich the emotional impact of the film.

Brent's Note:  By far, the best of the Alien series, this movie does not require that you have seen and/or remember the original Alien film at all.  This DVD contains both the original theatrical version and the Director's Cut featuring 17 minutes of additional footage not seen in theaters.  This additional footage just makes a great film even better.
