Set after the events of ‘Prometheus’, ‘Alien: Covenant’ picks up the story 10 years on. The crew of the colonising vessel Covenant is awakened from their hyper sleep by a mysterious event, but what links the Covenant to the missing crew of the Prometheus? Needless to say, sci-fi’s most terrifying creation the xenomorph plays a big part in proceedings.
