Spend Friday night under the stars and enjoy the free Summer Cinema at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse. The theme for the Summer Cinema this year is “Out of This World,” exploring seven nights of space-inspired films. This week, the featured film is Alien.
The time is the future. Seven astronauts are returning to Earth in their battered commercial starship for some well-earned leave. When responding to a mysterious distress call, they become the victims of a galactic creature of unspeakable horror. Their desperate attempts to combat the alien and escape make for a story you could never imagine in your wildest dreams – or nightmares. Starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt and John Hurt, Alien is one of the most suspenseful and powerful science fiction films of all time. (Ridley Scott, 1979, R, 116 min.)
