[edit] Synopsis
It is the future, years after the events of Alien: Resurrection. Ellen Ripley has disappeared and gone underground. Approached and blackmailed by Annalee Call, who has fallen in with a group dedicated at stopping Aliens being used by the military for weapons. Forcibly recruiting Ripley to stop a rumoured Alien/human hybrid, they journey to a secret research site, only to discover the truth is even worse: the projects leader is a Terminator, creating new members of his kind by creating Alien tissue over a metal endoskeleton. However, they have some unlikely help from a Predator, who kills the Terminator. Even he proves ineffective against the Alien/Terminator hybrid, who destroys the station. Discovering the truth from a shell program inside the mind of the first Terminator from John Connor himself, who reveals that once enough Terminators are created, they will attempt to resurrect their master - Skynet. Ripley is then kidnapped by a group of Predators, who not only use her genetic Alien memories to locate the Terminator lab, but recognise the Alien warrior side of her. Their combined attack is a disaster, as the hybrids prove too strong. But Ripley is able to free the Aliens, whose acid blood even the Terminators are unable to defend against. The Aliens kill everything - Predator, Terminator and human alike, as Ripley sacrifices herself one last time to kill the escaping final hybrid.
