The ship itself is a huge worn out industrial-style maze of halls and corridors, and it feels more like a prison than a place to live. The crew is not particularly friendly towards each other, and you truly feel all the in-group tension. Right from the beginning you have a feeling that something is wrong. What makes Alien so great is the constant feel of uneasiness. There they make contact with an alien life-form. It originates from an uninhabited planet and the crew lands to investigate. The crew is in cryosleep, but the on board computer interrupts the journey when a foreign radio signal is picked up. In "Alien" we follow a seven man crew en-route to earth on board the huge space freighter "Nostromo". Ripley flames Dallas and the Brett-egg and then runs to set the ship on self-destruct. Ripley enters the landing gear area of the Nostromo (where Brett got killed) and discovers a cocooned Dallas and Brett mutating into an egg.
After Ripley discovers the remains of Parker and Lambert, she makes another discovery. When Lambert sees the alien, it uncoils its tail and walks (like a crab) over to Lambert. (Watch the alien's shadow on the wall, it walks in, crouches down, then immediately gets up) A scene where we see the alien enter, crouch down and wait until Lambert notices its presence was cut. The build-up to Lambert's death is much longer. 
After Dallas's disappearance, Ripley (being suspicious of Ash) asks Lambert if she's ever slept with him. Ripley vocalizes her suspicions about Ash by accusing him of setting the alarm off. Parker falls unconciously to the floor, Ripley does the same and Lambert and Ash come to their rescue. As they are about to succeed, an alarm is triggered and the alien rushes out of the airlock (getting its tail caught in the closing door, and spilling acid that causes a hull breach). Part of a scene that involves Parker, Ripley and Lambert trying to flush the alien out of the air lock. 
Parker stands where Brett once was and looks up blood drips on his shirt and then Brett's cattle prod falls to Parker's feet. The alien lifts him up into the landing gear and Ripley and Parker come rushing in. This scene had Brett frozen with fear as the alien grabs his head, he yells "Parker!" and then blood poors from beneath his cap. Brett announces the cattle-prod idea and suggests "catching" the alien in a net.
After Kane's death, the crew gathers around at the meal table to discuss what they're going to do with the escaped alien. Ripley sees an X-Ray of Kane's chest and asks Ash, "What is that dark stain on Kane's lung?" The rest of the crew starts asking if Kane's going to live, Dallas tells everyone to go back to work. 
After the face hugger's acid eats through a few floors, the crew returns to the med lab to check up on Kane's condition. Ripley radios down to Parker and Brett to see how they're progressing on the repairs, Parker and Ripley exchange tense words over the radio. Lambert tells Ripley, Parker and Brett how the face hugger got on Kane. Lambert confronts Ripley about Ripley's reluctance to let them back on the ship with Kane and the facehugger. The crew gathers on the bridge and listens to the signal coming from the derelict craft. After being awakened from hypersleep, Kane wanders out to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, he says "Rise and shine Lambert". The laserdisc release features a separate section with the scenes not included in the theatrical release.
