Under the thick ice of the Antarctic Circle there have always lurked dangers unknown to us, lurking in silence, poised to strike, until the footsteps of mankind awaken them ......
Billionaire Charles -Wieland (Lance Henriksen) discovers through his thermal imaging probe satellite that an ancient pyramid-shaped temple is buried thousands of feet deep under the ice of the Antarctic Circle, and that, according to projections, the year of construction of this Aztec temple would have preceded the construction of the pyramids by the Egyptians. To verify his findings, Charles assembles an elite expedition led by Lex Wood (Shana Rashan) to the South Pole.
The expedition inadvertently awakens the sleeping aliens, which causes them to start reproducing by laying eggs in large numbers, putting the expedition in danger, and to make matters worse, the Iron Warriors, who were once worshipped as gods by the Aztecs, arrive at this time, and the three bloodthirsty Iron Warriors once again begin the hunting game of the aliens on the battlefields of the Earth, and unlike 2,000 years ago when they were using this for fun, the aliens' Unlike 2000 years ago when they used it for fun, the aliens are more numerous and more powerful.

Behind the Scenes
[Edit]
Alien + Iron Warriors
In 1979, 20th Century Fox released Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, which was not only critically acclaimed but also ushered in a new era of sci-fi cinema, making it an undisputed classic. Alien 2, Alien 3, and Alien 4, directed by James Cameron, David Fincher, and Jean-Pierre Genet respectively, followed. 1987 saw the creation of the Iron Warriors, who came from outer space and once again conquered the audience with their alternative and violent sci-fi plot, and the sequel was a natural fit. a quarter of a century has passed since then, and Fox has brought together the Alien and the Iron Warriors. together, this "Alien vs. Ironborn" became the most highly anticipated face-lift in sci-fi movie history.
The process of bringing the idea for "Alien v. Iron Warriors" to the big screen took nearly a decade. Fox had been floundering with various storylines until director and screenwriter Paul Anderson came up with his own vision, producer John Davis said, "Over the course of a few years, I'd heard more than 40 stories conceived by writers until Paul came to us with his own story that put humanity in the middle of the maelstrom of the battle between the aliens and the Iron Warriors, and we were completely hooked! ."
The idea actually came to Anderson back when he was just beginning his film career, Anderson recalls, "About nine years ago, just for fun, I had the idea of making an Alien vs. Tie Fighters movie, and I was at Sundance with my debut feature, Manhunt Madness, and I didn't think I'd ever be able to make an AVP-like movie."
"Eight years later," Anderson continues, "Fox started planning to make a movie like that, and then they asked me to come in for an interview, and our ideas coincided, and this time I didn't think I'd ever pass up the chance to realize my vision." According to producer Davis, it was especially important to find a director who knew both Alien and Ironborn very well, and as a huge fan of both Alien and Ironborn, Anderson had already seen both movies hundreds of times, and he was able to retell any scene from memory, making the enthusiastic Anderson a perfect choice to direct the film.
Anderson searched his brain's memory grooves for details to make the plot fit logically into the story of the previous "Alien" and "Die Hard" films, such as the presence of an alien skull among the trophies of the die-hard warriors in "Die Hard 2," which suggests that the two have had previous encounters. Anderson designed the Ironborn to have visited Earth thousands of years ago, to have been revered as gods and to have had a profound impact on certain ancient civilizations, like the Aztec and Mayan civilizations, so that it would fit right in with the interior of the alien spaceships in "Iron Fist 2.
At the same time, Anderson created a character closely associated with the Alien films, that of industrial magnate Charles Bishop Weyland (played by Lance Henriksen, who appeared in Alien 2 and Alien 3), who Alien fans will be very familiar with; Bishop was the cyborg priest in Alien 2 and Alien 3, and Weyland is from the Alien 2 and 3, and Weyland is from the ill-fated corporation that sent out a search party for the Xenomorphs in the first Alien movie. Says Anderson, "Weyland made a lot of money going into high-tech businesses, and he's the father of modern robotics, so the Cyborg Priest created 150 years later retains his likeness."
Alien vs. Iron Warriors: a power struggle
Twenty Century Fox has two sell-out franchises: "Alien" and "Iron Warriors."
Ridley Scott's "Alien" was just released in 1979, and critics and audiences screamed for more, and the movie's success spun off directly from the three sequels that followed (directed, respectively, by James Cameron, David Fincher, and Jean -In 1987, another film reflecting the creatures of outer space ravaging the earth, "Iron Blood Soldier" was launched (directed by John McTiernan, the most well-known films and "Tiger Balm"), hardcore action star Arnold is just red, "jungle confrontation" to see people's blood boiling, but then the sequels But the sequels were a real "sequel" to the old adage of "a dog's tail is a sable". The two series of human enemies in the Alien and Iron Blood Warrior together, mainly from Dark Horse Comics (Dark Horse Comics) published the same name of the comic book "Aliens vs Predator", the comic not only formed a series of games, but also produced a lot of comics peripheral products.
Alien
Alien's life begins with the queen's egg, which hides an eight-legged suction cup, and when the time comes, the suction cup will be adsorbed on a suitable mother, implanted embryos in the mother, and then a snake-like hatchling from the mother's body to break out of the body, molt and grow up, can be ferocious and horrifying posture walking "Jianghu
Ghost claws: The alien's claws are exceptionally sharp and are often used to tear apart prey.
The whirlwind tail: the sharp tail is also a very lethal weapon, and wherever it goes, it kills or injures.
Large exploding teeth: absolutely no cavities, and each shiny and sharp, usually, you can not see the alien shut up when, so this mouth of exploding teeth is very threatening.
Inner Nesting Teeth: even stronger and more powerful than the outer bursting teeth, with a hardness equivalent to an adamantium drill that can bite through metal.
Gecko Kung Fu: this is actually a skill of the alien, it can utilize its claws and walk close to wall canopies, which gives it an advantage to sneak up on opponents by surprise.
Plasma strong acid: the spraying process can be referred to the "plasma piss cow pills", the effect is similar to the "rotting corpse powder", this yellow strong acid is extremely corrosive, equivalent to the alien's blood, the Alien will not give up this old money until the last resort.
The Predator
The Predator is a solitary warrior whose only pleasure is to hunt and kill, and each Predator chooses their favorite weapon and style of killing. They usually find killing the most challenging, however, and close combat with mind-armed humans is well worth the effort. Two of the most famous encounters between humans and Tie Fighters took place in the jungles of Vietnam and Los Angeles, and both resulted in heavy human losses, as the Tie Fighters live by the motto "It's better to be broken than to be destroyed".
Wrist Blades: The Ironborn have a pair of sharp wrist blades on their forearms, which can be retracted at will, and are mainly used in close combat, but do not have protection against strong acids.
Bone Knife: Exactly a kind of dagger, made of alien bones, to take "the other side of the same way", usually used to peel the skin off the bones of aliens.
Spear: a multi-purpose spear, similar to a fishing spear, which is very useful in combat, both near and far.
Self-destructing bomb: comparable in power to a small atomic bomb, it is the first choice of Ironborn fighters who are not strong enough to fight afterward.
Shoulder Cannon: Located on the back shoulder of the Iron Blooded Warrior, powered by the shoulder power unit, with laser targeting.
Discs: shaped like a pair of axes, they are strong and sharp, capable of penetrating concrete, and can be swung back into the hand.
The Boomerang: a saber-toothed dart developed from the discs that will be used in this movie instead of the discs.
Skyrocket Gun: a pistol that fires a metal mesh which not only catches its prey, but can even pass through their bodies to kill them.
Wrist Cannon: a rocket launcher with a barge in the wrist, which is even more indestructible when using proto-bullets.
Self-Medicine: this device contains a variety of medical equipment that can be used to heal wounds and regain strength.
Stealth: the most typical feature of the Tie Fighters, but it cannot stop the pheromones they produce when they move, and is not waterproof (it will show up when exposed to water).
Masks: can pick up a wide range of spectra, most familiarly known to us as using infrared to track humans, not sure what method is used to track aliens.
Golden armor: mesh harness that allows the Ironborn to resist the heat, but humans are thus able to catch tracks as they move.
Our Planet, Their War
Bringing "Alien vs. Iron Warriors" to the big screen was a bit of a struggle, with 20th Century Fox looking at more than 40 versions of the script over the course of a decade until director and screenwriter Paul Anderson came up with his own vision, and producer John Davis was particularly taken with the idea of placing the human race in the middle of the maelstrom of the ultimate battle. Anderson came up with the idea for Alien vs. Ironborn on a whim nine years ago, when his film career was just getting started and he was attending the Sundance Film Festival with his debut feature, Manhunter, thinking that he might not have the chance to make Alien vs. Ironborn in his lifetime. The following year, 20th Century Fox put the movie on their agenda and they approached Anderson to discuss it, and once again, Anderson spelled out the original idea, and this time he was given the opportunity to make it. The key to be able to take the role of director of this movie is to be familiar with the "Alien" and "Iron Warriors" two series of films, and Paul Anderson has seen these two sets of films no less than a hundred times, which is equivalent to the two sets of series of films "encyclopedia" type of fans, he can recall every scene in the film from memory, he directed the "Alien vs. at least to avoid mistakes of principle. But Anderson still came up with a new story line for the film, one in which the Iron Warriors had visited Earth thousands of years before, and that they had been worshipped as gods by mankind, with a particularly strong influence on the Aztec and Mayan cultures, a theory based on the design of the Iron Warrior spaceships in Iron Warriors 2. Based on this theory, Anderson created two important characters, Charles Bishop Weyland and Elisha Woods:
Industrial titan Charles Bishop Weyland is played by Lance Henriksen (who starred in Alien 2 and 3, where he was a cyborg "priest"). Veteran Alien fans will recognize the character's name as Weyland from Weyland-Yutani (the ill-fated company that sent out a search party for the Xenomorphs in the first Alien episode), and Bishop from Bishop the Cyborg "Priest" Weyland has made a fortune with his high-tech industry and is the father of modern cyborgs. He is also the father of the modern cyborg, so the cyborg Priest, created 150 years later, retains his likeness.
Adventurer Elisha Woods is played by Sanaa Leyser (who played Wesley Snapper's mom in Blade Runner). The Alien series has portrayed a tough-as-nails heroine in Ellen Ripley (always led by Sydney Weaver), and in a nod to that tradition of the Alien series, Anderson then portrayed another fearless heroine in Elisha Woods.
