Alien: Covenant is a 2017 American 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. A sequel to the 2012 film Prometheus, the film is 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, and follows the crew of a ship that lands on an uncharted planet before making a terrifying discovery.
Alien: Covenant premiered in London on May 4, 2017 and is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 19, 2017.
Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce), CEO of Weyland Corporation, activates a new artificially intelligent android (Michael Fassbender). Weyland asks the android his name; the android selects "David" after looking upon Michelangelo's statue of the same name.
In 2104, the crew of the colony ship Covenant is bound for a remote planet, Origae-6, with some 2,000 colonists and over 1,400 embryos on-board, monitored by Walter, a more advanced android resembling the earlier David. A neutrino shockwave damages the ship, killing its captain (James Franco) and waking the crew from stasis. While repairing the damage, they intercept a human radio transmission from a seemingly lifeless nearby planet. Against the objection of Daniels (Katherine Waterston), the ship's terraforming expert and acting executive officer, acting captain Christopher Oram (Billy Crudup) decides to investigate.
