Alien³ (1992)

There is a bit of this Alien sequel that is set up to be a rehash of the previous two movies. Sigourney Weaver’s escape pod, which of course contains at least one alien, crash-lands onto a new locale. The rest of the heroes from Aliens are dead on arrival, so it again resets so that Sigourney is the only one who has knowledge and experience with the aliens and the evil Company’s desires to weaponize them. What makes this different is that the ship had landed on an all-male maximum-security prison colony and foundry. No more mothering instincts coming out in this version, instead Weaver has to fight off gang rapes and work twice as hard to prove she knows what she’s doing.
