Alien: Covenant is a 2017 science fiction horror film directed by Ridley Scott, and written by John Logan and Dante Harper, with a story by Michael Green and Jack Paglen. The film is a sequel to the 2012 film Prometheus, the second installment in the Alien prequel series and the sixth installment overall in the Alien film series, as well as the third directed by Scott. The film stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride and Demián Bichir. It follows a crew of a colony ship that lands on an uncharted planet and makes a terrifying discovery. Alien: Covenant premiered in London on May 4, 2017, and was released on May 12, 2017, in the United Kingdom and May 19 in the United States, twenty years after release of Alien: Resurrection(1997). The film received generally positive reviews from critics but received polarizing reviews from audiences, with critics praising Fassbender\'s dual performance and a return to form for both director Ridley Scott and the franchise, but underperformed at the domestic box office and grossed a total of $232.6 million against a production budget of $97 million. In a prologue, business magnate Peter Weyland speaks with his newly activated android, who chooses the name \"David\" after looking at a replica of Michelangelo\'s statue of David. Weyland tells David that one day they will search for mankind\'s creator together. David comments on his unlimited lifespan as compared to his creator\'s limited one. In 2104, 11 years after the incident on LV-223, the colonization-ship, Covenant is bound for a remote planet, Origae-6, with two-thousand colonists and over a thousand, human embryos aboard. The ship is monitored by Walter, a newer synthetic that physically resembles the earlier David model, albeit with some modifications. A stellar neutrino burst damages the ship, killing some of the colonists. Walter orders the ship\'s computer to wake the crew from stasis, but the ship\'s captain, Jake Branson, dies when his stasis pod malfunctions, burning him while he\'s still asleep. While repairing the ship, the crew picks up a radio transmission from a nearby, unknown planet, dubbed by navigator Ricks as \"planet number four\". Against the objections of Daniels (Branson\'s widow), the new captain, Oram, decides to investigate. As the Covenant remains in orbit, an expedition team descends to the earth-like planet\'s surface and tracks the transmission\'s signal to a crashed alien ship. While on the surface, security-team members Ledward and Hallett divert from the main group to perform field research. Ledward steps away and accidentally steps on alien spores and is soon infected. Meanwhile, Daniels and members of the main group notice cultivated common wheat, but also the complete lack of wildlife or animal sounds. Karine helps the rapidly-sickening Ledward back to the lander where Maggie quarantines them both inside the med-bay. A small, pale, alien creature (neomorph) bursts from Ledward\'s back, killing him, and then mauls Karine to death. Maggie attempts to shoot the creature, but accidentally triggers an explosion which kills her and destroys the lander. The neomorph escapes to the planet\'s surface while another such creature bursts from Hallett\'s throat, killing him. The neomorphs attack the remaining crew members and kill Ankor. The crew manage to kill one before David, who survived the Prometheus mission, scares away the other and leads the crew to a city full of humanoid (Engineer) corpses. David tells them that upon his and Dr. Elizabeth Shaw\'s arrival at the planet, their ship accidentally released a black liquid bio-weapon which killed the native population and that Shaw died when the ship crashed in the ensuing chaos. After the crew members tell David of their mission, they attempt to radio the Covenant for help, but the surviving neomorph infiltrates the city and finds security-team member Rosenthal alone before decapitating her. David tries to communicate with the creature, but is horrified when Oram kills it. Under Oram\'s gunpoint, David reveals that the aliens are a result of his experimenting with the black liquid as a catalyst to create a new species. He leads Oram to an incubation chamber and tricks him into being rendered unconscious by an alien parasite (facehugger). Some time later, another alien creature erupts from Oram\'s chest, killing him.
