A blood‑red eclipse swallows a mining moon as a broken beacon begs for help . Smith is Gabe Roarke, a convoy marshal dragged back for one last evac; Johansson plays Dr. Sera Vaughn, a xenobiologist with files the company wants erased .
Their drop to Hestia‑9 finds a refinery skinned in acid and a heat‑mirage that clicks back—Yautja on the hunt . Then the hive wakes: facehuggers skitter, ceiling‑runs blur, and rain smokes through steel . Set pieces slam—tri‑laser stalemate in a strobe tunnel, net‑gun vs. tail‑scythe, a zero‑G hive when the grav‑plates fail .
A reluctant pact forms, glyphs counting down on a wrist bomb ; the Queen’s shadow crowns a tower of bones. Final beat: three red dots climb past our heroes onto something much bigger. Cut to black. Click… ROAR.
