Alien: Resurrection (1997) is the fourth film in the Alien series, preceded by Alien, Aliens and Alien??. It opened on November 26, 1997.

The events of Alien: Resurrection take place two centuries after the events of Alien. Ellen Ripley has been cloned using "blood samples from 'Fiori' 16, on ice" so that the United Systems Military can extract the Xenomorph queen embryo that was inside her from Alien. The first seven tries are unsuccessful hybrids of human and alien body forms. Six of them are dead in fluid-filled preservative chambers. The seventh, also horribly deformed, remains alive on life-support, and is granted a mercy killing by Ripley later in the film. On the eighth try the scientists recreated a mostly human, almost normal-looking Ripley with a viable alien queen embryo inside her.

This film reveals a new alien capability - the ability to transfer memory genetically, which enables the resurrected Ripley to keep some of her former self's memories. It also piques the curiosity of the scientists and leads to their decision to keep her alive for further study. Having her DNA mixed with the aliens' has also given Ripley black claw-like fingernails, increased strength and regenerative abilities, lightning reflexes, enhanced hearing and weak acid for blood. She also has somewhat of an empathy for the aliens, referring to them as "my babies." At the end of the film, it is shown that the alien queen has also received a gift from Ripley's DNA: the ability to give birth to live offspring directly. This offspring seems more 'human' than the other aliens, with a human-like skull and eyes. This creature kills its alien mother right after birth, recognizing Ripley as his 'true' mother, weeping in a quite "childish" mode.
