In 2104, the spaceship Covenant is traveling to Origae-6, a planet the expedition wants to colonize. On board it carries 2000 colonists and 1140 human embryos in cryostasis. During the trip, a sudden supernova explosion damages the ship and puts the mission at risk. Walter, an advanced android, wakes the key crew members to deal with the emergency. The crew must assess the damage to the systems, decide which priorities to address, and determine how far the journey can continue without endangering the sleeping passengers.

Trivia about Alien: Covenant

Adam Savage visited several Prometheus sets, but the ship from that film had to be recreated for Covenant because the original had been destroyed.

To give the xenomorphs a more "organic" and less "biomechanical" look than H. R. Giger's, Ridley Scott gave designer Conor O'Sullivan anatomical studies and references from the La Specola museum in Florence.

It was announced that Noomi Rapace would shoot scenes equivalent to a week of work, but none made it into the final cut.

The Australian government attracted filming for this movie, along with Thor: Ragnarok, with a subsidy of A$47.25 million.

Harry Gregson-Williams was the first composer chosen, but the first trailer, released in late 2016, revealed that Jed Kurzel had replaced him.

The version released in China on June 16, 2017 was six minutes shorter than the one shown in other countries due to censorship.

Alien: Covenant earned $240,892,187 worldwide, against an estimated budget of $97 million, and won three awards and received 18 nominations according to the film's records.

To shoot the appearance of a small creature, a puppet was used that could be posed and raise its arms; Ridley Scott explained that it was built in a private space at Shepperton Studios dedicated to developing effects.
