    Nostromo, the name of the futuristic commercial freight spaceship in "Alien" is the title of a Joseph Conrad novel, and is Italian for "our man, " the hero who is the reliable agent in charge of a European enterprise in a Latin American country whose silver deposits have attracted foreign investors. The space vessel is guided by a super computer called "Mother, " which supposedly is "maternally" protective to the crew of seven. When Mother proposes an investigation of some kind of incubation in an unfamiliar planetary location, the theme of the unnatural "mother" from Hell that devours its adopted children becomes shockingly apparent. Sigourney Weaver as Ripley (Ridley?) plays the truly motherly figure who struggles for self-preservation of the species. Her first major role, unforgettable.
