ALIEN: ROMULUS is the story of young space colonists fighting a dangerous creature. In the colony named Jackson’s Star, Rain Carradine (Cailee Spaeny), an orphan works as a farmer with her adoptive brother Andy (David Jonsson), who’s a synthetic human. She’s hoping to get free of her contract from the megacorporation Weyland-Yutani Corp so that she can migrate to her home planet Yvaga. Sadly, the contract forcibly renews her contract for 5 more years. A dejected Rain is approached by her ex-boyfriend Tyler (Archie Renaux). He along with his sister Kay (Isabela Merced), cousin Bjorn (Spike Fearn) and Bjorn’s girlfriend Navarro (Aileen Wu) plan to escape to Yvaga using a spacecraft hovering above the colony and believed to be abandoned or decommissioned. Rain and Andy join them as the latter is required for his ability to interface with the on-board computer system, a crucial step for the success of their mission. Rain, Andy and the rest of the people manage to reach the spacecraft. Sadly, things go wrong for them and they come face-to-face with dangerous aliens. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
