Alien – Das unheimliche Wesen aus einer fremden Welt (Originaltitel Alien) ist ein amerikanisch-britischer Science-Fiction-Horrorfilm aus dem Jahr 1979 und der Beginn der gleichnamigen Filmreihe. Er gilt mit seinen von HR Giger entworfenen Wesen und Kulissen als einer der visuell beeindruckendsten Filme des modernen Kinos und leitete eine Reihe von Alien-Filmen ein. In dem Body-Horror-Klassiker schrieb Sigourney Weaver als erste weibliche Hauptdarstellerin im Actiongenre Filmgeschichte. Der Film startete am 25. Mai 1979 in den Vereinigten Staaten und am 25. Oktober 1979 in den deutschen Kinos. Die deutsche Synchronisation wurde von der Synchronfirma Berliner Synchron GmbH Wenzel Lüdecke erstellt und Joachim Kunzendorf war verantwortlich für das Dialogbuch und die Dialogregie. Seit 2016 bewirbt 21st Century Fox den 26. April als „Alien Day“ und verweist damit auf den Mond LV-426, der zentraler Bestandteil der Alienfilme ist.
