Americký režisér Stanley Kubrick byl známý tím, že si přísně chránil soukromí a velmi nerad a zřídka hovořil s novináři. Přesto se našel jeden filmový kritik, který měl ke geniálnímu tvůrci snímků jako 2001: Vesmírná odysea, Osvícení či Mechanický pomeranč stálý přístup. Francouze Michela Cimenta si Kubrick našel sám v polovině sedmdesátých let. Líbilo se mu, co napsal o jeho dosavadní tvorbě, a rozhodl se, že se s ním bude scházet a poskytne mu rozhovor.

Rozhovor je doplněn o ukázky z filmů a jejich natáčení, o vzácné archivní záběry z režisérova soukromí a o rozhovory se slavnými herci, kteří v jeho filmech hráli

In space, no one can hear you scream! the catchy slogan that accompanies Alien sums up the unprecedented stakes of this film that will mark the history of cinema. In 1979, for the first time on screens, a mainstream feature film will mix two distinct worlds of genre cinema: science fiction and horror.

The documentary looks back at the lasting impact of this masterpiece, exploring Scott’s audacity and the genesis of his unique aesthetic.

By revisiting the film's key sequences, the documentary shows how Alien explores profound themes such as survival and dehumanization, while reflecting a scathing critique of the capitalist system.
