However, once there, your journey will become a nightmare when you discover the darkest and darkest part of the planet. They will realize that the area is a desert and dangerous place where its only inhabitant is David, a synthetic being and unique survivor of the expedition Prometheus. In this context, the group will have to find an escape route to save themselves from that planet.

Trivia

Why 'Covenant'

The name of the ships is never random in Ridley Scott's movies. In 'Alien: The Eighth Passenger' the Nostromo ship paid tribute to the writer Joseph Conrad, whose director had adapted 'The Duelists'. 'Prometheus' referred to the Greek myth and its revision in 'Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus' by Mary Shelley. And 'Alien: Covenant'? Covenant could refer to the Ark of the Covenant, the sacred chest with the Tables of Law that also starred in the Indiana Jones debut.

Franchise

This is the 8th Feature Film in the 'Alien' Series.

Wagner, the other passenger

One of the musical references of 'Alien: Covenant' is the opera 'Das Rheingold' by Richard Wagner. In particular, the passage 'The entrance of the gods to Valhalla'
