Alien: Romulus, which hits theaters on Aug. 16, returns audiences to the universe that Ridley Scott built. It’s been 45 years since the original kicked off the enduring franchise, and a rewatch is definitely in order. Whether you want to curate a marathon or are visiting the franchise for the first time, take note: Every Alien movie is available to stream right now.
Alien hit theaters in 1979 and is led by Sigourney Weaver in her star-making turn as Ellen Ripley. The movie follows the crew of the Nostromo, a commercial starship, as they investigate a distress call in space. They discover an aggressive alien species running rampant on a dead spaceship, turning their rescue mission into a fight for survival.

Weaver reprised her role of Ripley in three of the franchise’s eight installments: James Cameron’s Aliens, David Fincher’s Alien 3 and Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien Resurrection.
Fede Álvarez (2013’s Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe) directed Alien: Romulus, a standalone story between the events of Alien and Aliens. It’s worth noting that Fede’s sequel and Noah Hawley’s Alien TV show will not connect.
Whether you’re looking to refresh yourself on the franchise before Alien: Romulus hits theaters, or you want to plan an epic Alien-themed binge session, here’s where you can stream every installment — and yes, this includes the Alien vs. Predator movies.
