The design of the Nostromo’s interior in Alien (1979) is meant to make you feel uneasy. The walls are closing in, you are suffocating, and you have no idea what is lurking around each corner. In this video, I will tell you the behind-the-scenes techniques Ridley Scott and the design team used to make the spaceship sets give you anxiety-from concept to execution.

Everything about how this movie was made blows my mind. SO much creativity and talent and hard work was involved with all of this. And the end result still holds up to this day. Amazing and inspiring.
I like to say that Alien was like a once in a 100 year (if not once in forever) kind of film. The combination of HR Giger's insanely creepy drawings/art and the brilliance of Scott, the writers, cinematographers and set artists was just unmatched in scifi before or since. When Event Horizon came out I was hopeful they had created something as cool but it just became a hokey haunted spaceship story.
@@eyuptas6590 Well, go watch some run-of-the-mill, paint-by-numbers, low budget fast paced horror movie then. We're talking about a movie on the border of arthouse and mainstream, that's also a lovecraftian tale of cosmic horror. Back then Hollywood had reached its artistic peak, movies like f.e. The Godfather, Taxi Driver...or Alien...were both entertainment AND beautiful works of art. But when you cannot appreciate the brillant work of many artists that went into Alien, it might be boring to you. I watched this movie many, many times since the mid 80s and I found it to be thrilling every single time.
@@beestingza Couldn't agree more!
@@eyuptas6590yes you are...
@@eyuptas6590I bet the marvel movies are your favorites.
ALIEN is a cult classic that for me is absolutely a stand-alone movie and concept. Still stands up today. Incredible!
I really love the self-destruct system in the Nostromo. It looks exactly like the sort of real, overly-complicated system you would expect to find on such a big starship. And it takes a long time to arm. The audience knows that the alien is loose on the ship somewhere and could attack Ripley at any moment, so they're thinking, 'Come ON! Get the hell off that ship already!" The Director understood the need to build tension during that scene. A modern director would miss this completely and probably just put a big, red "self-destruct" button right next to the door of the escape shuttle.
What's especially good is the SOUND. When she's trying to deactivate it and she's pushing those brass cylinders down, you can even hear the protesting whine of their gears.
@@JordanOrlando This is the only movie I walked out of when it was over and paid to go back in and watch again. It had just come out and I'd never heard of it before as it got no advertising and hardly anyone was in the theatre, movie blew me away!
A selfdestruct device is used in so many SF movies and its dumb.
Why put a self destruct in the only thing that keeps you alive?
We don't put them in cars, trains, ships or airplanes, why in a spaceship.
Ofcourse we see them in unmaned rockets to prevent them from crashing in populated areas.
But in a time where space travel is common and the technology so advanced we fly out and land back again with low risk adding a self destruct to a ship would be utterly stupid.
@@erics320well the whole point of the movie was for them to find life, and obviously u don’t know what ur going to find and how powerful it could be so it is useful to have a destruct button so that atleast the alien doesn’t go to earth on the ship being directed there and everything will be gone in space
@@erics320 The only plausible reason I can think of for a self-destruct sequence is for a disabled ship on reentry; if the ship were to simply crash in one piece it might hit a densely populated area. Still seems like a stretch, but that's what came to mind. By the same token that nuclear explosion seemed so big it would be potentially hazardous inside the Earth's atmosphere itself, lol.
I agree that the self-destruct sequence is a silly trope that gets used too much but you have to admit it's a great suspense tool.
Decades later this movie keeps inspiring and awe.
An astonishing amount of pre-production and set designs. The end result holds up forty-five years later as a true horror film.
Find the right people
Hire them
Give them money
Leave them the fuck alone.
They'll tell you when they're done.
and now movie sets consist of green cloth 😒
Man i have wached it first time 35 years ago and still cant get enought courage to rewatch it
The claustrophobic nature of the ship combined with the fact the Nostromo is GIANT, and knowing there’s a 7 foot tall walking nightmare skulking through the corridors
The entire set is such a vibe
Actor Yafet Koto lifted this film into reality. What a masterpiece.
An exact life-size replica of this spaceship complete with an "alien" or two would make for the best haunted house EVER!
There was 'Alien War' in the Trocadero building in London, I don't think it exists anymore now. They put you in a waiting room, sirens went off, and actors dressed up as colonial marines stepped in and escorted you through an industrial hallway complex while barking orders and fighting off xenomorphs.
@@ralfvanbogaert3451
Dude whaaaa....???
You gotta be joking
The mother of all space horror movies. It set the bar high for decades. The set design is trully detailed and realistic .
The layout of the ship coupled with the Alien has The Minotaur in the Labyrinth feel about it
very good
The Minotaur is the fundamental theme in a lot of movies I think. The Terminator is one. Kyle and Sarah are chased down dark streets and shopping mall isles, all symbolic mazes, by their Minotaur ie Arnie's Terminator.
@@davidlean1060 But in Alien the ship does look like a Labyrinth with narrow tight corridors.
@@davidsummer8631 I never said it didn't. I was bringing to your attention other movies with a similar theme.
The Hero's Journey.
Joseph Campbell
The young hero loses their mentor (Capt. Dallas)
Then has to go through a rites of passage.
Then has to overcome a beast in a labyrinth / maze.
Then victory at the end!
Woohoo another episode! You make some of the most professional looking movie documentaries on youtube
Thanks!
Damn just imagine how much those awesome sets helped the actors get into character? Amazing stuff.
Alien and The exorcist are two of the best horror movies ever made. Both masterpieces. Hasn’t been anything as good since but there has been a few worth mentioning.
Thank heavens Dan O'Bannon gave this film his all. He could have easily just taken the money he was paid for his script and moved on to a different project, but his contract stated he was allowed to stick around for the making of the film and he followed it to the letter. It's thanks to his many contributions during production - for instance his recommendation that the foam rubber facehugger not be painted green, as was originally intended, but left its original shade of flesh color - that ALIEN turned out as awesome as it did.
On the other hand, he never seemed to simply enjoy the fact his film was a success. There was always a gripe from him. He could never accept that the changes made by outsiders, like the re worked script by Giler and Hill, helped the movie and he never turned down the chance to air that grievance. I hope I'm wrong, I hope he did celebrate his success. He had a massive hand in making one of the most iconic movies ever made. I hope he realised how rare an achievement that was and pat himself on the back once in a while.
@@davidlean1060 That's because the movie was taken away from O'Bannon by Giler and Hill who made inferior sequels. Aliens had nothing to do with them as it was commissioned straight from the studio.
@@SmartCookie2022 They funded the film and they gave the film the truckers in space vibe. If you read O'Bannon's script and the Giler/Hill re write, their contribution is as clear as day. In any case, that's not the point I am making. We all know those stories and you can have your opinions on them. My point is I hope O'Bannon enjoyed his success, regardless of how it came about. The impression he gave was that he didn't and I think that's a waste. He did a rare thing, I hope he allowed himself to enjoy that fact.
@@davidlean1060 There's actually an interview where he said he was feeling all bitter and twisted and nearly didn't go see the finished film in the theatre, but Ron Shusset convinced him to go. He saw how the audience reacted and how great everything looked, and he loved it so much he wept. So yeah, despite all his griping (and he liked griping) he did have his moment of victory.
@@martinharris5017 That was from the making-of documentary and his issue was that he felt he hadn't been given the proper respect on the film. My guess is from all the interference from Gordon Carroll and David Giler (Walter Hill famously never seems to appear in any interviews). Most likely Carroll since O'Bannon caught him trying to steal the project out from under him several times.
But he didn't seem to have any trouble with Ridley or any of the other artists since he was the one who recommended most of them.
A TRUE CLASSIC STILL HOLDS UP TODAY !!!!!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Such a great movie. The sequels never came close but it wasn't a surprise because they couldn't be game changers after Alien had changed the game.
Totally agree, ALIEN is a stand-alone movie, everything after was mediocre sci-fi working hard to capitalize on the genius of the first movie and ruining the concept and mystery completely.
@@santidm2415 I would say the second in acting - is the same but better in design elements I would agree with you because I believe all the original set design and production present for the filming , the third one I had to warm up too. The fourth one. 😢
My brother and sister DID get a chance to walk around the set. They were little kids at the time and it was WAY before I was born, but they didn't find the film scary after visiting the studio because obviously, they knew everything was just plywood, ducting and bits and eggcrate.
But the movie was an X certificate when it first came out in 1979, meaning they would had to have been 18 years old to go see it at the cinema. Unless, of course, they were allowed to see a private screening behind closed doors or they watched a lousy VHS copy that came out in the early 80's.
So cool!
Fun Fact: I never say fun fact, but this fun, in the 90s sometime, after a big night out, my friends and I were “recovering” and watched Alien on VHS. Suddenly, bang bang there’s a knock on the door! It was my neighbour’s kid and she wanted to know if I wanted a kitten. We were in the middle of the movie, shit scared, so I grabbed it and slammed the door shut. I called him Jonesy after the cat in Alien, had him for 18 years!
that isn't just fun but truly adorable haha, that's great!
Love this!
Sir what drugs were you recovering from? 😊
@@CinemaTyler YER NO! The assumption about the fire using up the oxygen so the actor doesnt have it is wrong! Where did you get that idea from?
1979 was an incredible year to be a movie fan. I was reviewing these films for my high school newspaper back then. I saw this in a suburban movie house and was thrilled by what I was seeing, but at the same time had no idea that this movie would have the legs to be praised decades later. Cinema Tyler is, pound for pound, the best movie channel on the platform.
“Suburban movie house” Sir is that a cinema? Also, what rating was this movie in the US? High school students surely weren’t old enough to be watching it...?
Right? I remember ALIEN being paired with Star Trek The Motion Picture as a double-billed showing! What an amazing time that was to be 11 years old.
Dallas in the air ducting was probably the scariest part of the movie in my opinion. As well as the chest bursting scene.
Gave me nightmares from 7-11 yrs old.
I'm a big fan of how they made the ship design interior look. I always think the movie would've been creepy even without the alien on board and the crew just going it alone throughout the ship corridors and basement sections. Especially in the deleted scene when Ripley crawls down the ladder into the basement during the countdown sequence. Imagine going down there alone to grab something even without the alien on the ship. Or worse yet, Jonesy just happened to be making noise down there. Same deal with the room that Brett gets attacked in with the chains hanging from the ceiling. They really knew what they were doing back then.
And for the life of me, I can't figure out why the newer Alien franchise films don't go back to using these elaborate dark creepy set designs. I think that's one of many pivotal things that every movie after Alien 3 was missing. A creepy, rusted, mechanical, grimey, claustrophobic set.
The ships in Resurrection, Prometheus, and Covenant just look too clean, bright, and basic looking without that dark dingy feel or look. That and the alien creature itself looking too fake in those movies. Even the puppet in Alien 3 looked lousy in certain scenes. Nothing beats good lighting and practical effects with a man in an alien suit. I doubt any new alien movies will ever get the formula right ever again. The studio execs just miss a lot of pivotal details and they don't care. Same with musical scores in movies. New movies just don't have the good musical scores they used to have.
Agree with every word. They sure don't nor ever will make em like this again. Truly a work of art.
Still the best fucking movie of all time. I remember seeing this in the 80s and I was fucking terrified.
I just loved the sets. So detailed and claustrophobic. Just the right atmosphere for the movie.
Amazing, I had no idea those were dolly tracks on the floor, they look so natural and part of the ship.
8:28 talking about the lighting and especially about the light coming from behind grills, this has the further characteristic of making the set look even *more* like an artwork by Giger!
Really loving your series on Alien Tyler! Despite all the amazing documentaries with the Anthology Set, you keep digging up so much great stuff on this one. Definitely one of my favorite movies ever!
One of my favourite 1979.. along with The Thing.. nicely done.
So about that dollycart rail you can see in the vent sequence...so glad you mentioned this because it brought back an old memory of my first viewing of Alien when I was 7. I thought the rail was a ladder and the shot was aimed up a vertical shaft, when it was in fact a horizontal shaft. This discrepancy led to a nauseating conflict of where down was in the next shot where Dallas is shooting down a shaft and not across it like my confused perception of the previous scene implied, which actually added to the tension/confusion/panic of that scene quite nicely. A little 'universe isn't working like it should' on top of the claustrophobia and xenomorph chasing you.
I just love learning about the Alien movies from you, you really bring them to life and give a level of detail that’s so wanted for the fans.
This movie still holds up extremely well to this day, starting with the lonesome, eerie, claustrophobic music at the very beginning. The physical design of the self-destruct mechanism, how it works etc, along with how it was shot and acted, really send this movie off into the stratosphere in the last 10 minutes. Great, great movie. The sequel is also a 5 star movie, but for different reasons. Overall I prefer the first one, but both are amazing.
This movie has literally been nightmare inducing for me. Greatest film ever made.
Not only by far the best of the franchise, it's also one of the best horror and sci-fi flicks. Hat of to R Scott!
I love the Alien Franchise there's so much to delve into. I'm sitting here at home having answered the door not 5 minutes ago because my book "Alien The Blueprints" arrived from Amazon. I'm so into this.👽👽👽
Hell yeah. You’re one of the only UA-camr that I will drop everything and watch immediately when you upload. Such great work
1. Usually in films or television if a cat is introduced, this is done merely so it can be killed, to create a cheap but nasty emotional effect.
I truly loved that Alien did NOT do that.
2. The Duelists is a really good film.
3. Blade Runner had a lot of that incense fog as well. I had no idea that it was incense until seeing this video. Fascinating that Ridley Scott had so much thought about the different types of smoke/mist effect methods.
I think Alien might be my favorite movie. I love everything about it. The breakdowns you did on Apocalypse Now! Really cracked my head open on some VFX stuff I was doing. Turns out I've always been kind of working on a digital analog version of the slit scan rig and didn't know. If you published a printed zine companion to your works, I would subscribe to it and pay quite a bit for it. I don't know how something like that would work. You're allowed to make these youtube videos so I assume you can publish other things, but your research is so deep and I find myself wanting to thumb through it like a big A4 prestige magazine or something.
Me too, it’s insanely brilliant. I generally don’t like scary movies but the first time I saw Alien in the 80s when I was about 16 truly terrified me.I grew up reading classic sci fi, always about the future etc, but in Alien you realise there’s shit out there that gives zero fucks about you and your morals. It’s just brilliantly acted, written, shot, the sound and music are excellent, there’s no fault in it.
@@aldunlop4622 I really love wet puppets. Alien is primo wet puppets.
I really Love your Videos! This way of Shooting Alien reminds me of the German movie "das Boot". It was filmed in a real Submarine with a 30-40 person Cast. The Submarine was flooded for some scenes and shaken around. The themperature was rising up to 50°C in the submarine, because of the lights, camera and all the people in this small metal Submarine. Its a crasy realistic Feeling movie with a crazy backstory
Wow! I'll have to look into that production-sounds crazy!
This movie is an infinite well of inspiration.
At 11:03, Skerritt (probably) inadvertently drops his headset mic, and you can see it starting to slip off a few seconds earlier. Somehow, I never noticed that until now.
I was part of a submarine crew for 7 years total and can relate to the set design of the Nostromo; It feels very submarine-like. You're always trying to squeeze past equipment or another person, all while trying not to bang your body against anything. Regarding Yaphet Kotto ducking all the time, this was very realistic to what tall submariners have to go through. I'm 6'3" and I was always hunched over going through the passageways on deployments.
Similar to the Overlook Hotel design. Masterclass
The best spacecraft set ever built. Making it totally enclosed was a master stroke. Its never been equaled.
A true masterpiece. And it was the 70s! It launched a whole genre and imitators. The attention to detail is amazing.
If you put yourself into the shoes of the NOSTROMO crew, that massive ship isn't something you're going to take your sweet time exploring on your off duty time. With that being said, the Alien has the advantage in finding spots to hide and explore while the crew knows only their safe spaces and nothing more. Awesome video and ALIEN is still an awesome film visually and emotionally.
This really IS cinema, Tyler 🥸
I saw that with free midnight sneak peak tickets when I was 15. No one had any idea it was going to be that scary or who would survive. Then I had to walk home at 2AM in the rain and that was almost as scary as the movie...lol
Remains the movie that comes to mind when I hear set design. Absolutely love it
Interesting call-out with the vent scene and the choice of using tight shots for the people outside the vent. I would have never noticed it but it works really well.
Anyone who's played Alien: Isolation knows how claustrophobic these sets must have been. 20th Century Fox gave a huge amount of help to Creative Assembly when developing the game, including Ron Cobb's diagrams of the corridors and all the symbols above the doors.
8:29
They are not "grills". They are plastic pallets which were the idea of Roger Christian who doesn't even get a mention.
Christian was also a set dresser on Star Wars, working under Norman Reynolds.
He found the camera flash gun which became Luke's lightsabre.
He bought aircraft spare parts in order to dress the cockpit and Landing Gear sets for Alien.
He and the production team built the vehicles seen in Alien that were not used.
10:44
Not the vent set but a corridor set.
The sliding doors can be clearly seen at the top!
It came out on my birthday in 1979 and it’s still one of my all time favorite movies 🤩🤯👍👍
- The Alien: Isolation game really makes use of all this techniques. It's amazing the level of horror they made and reconstructed from this film.
- There are sets that need to be mantained for eternity, like The Shire or Nostromo; or like the Roman Forum sets in films about Ancient Rome. Maybe for turistic purposes, but mostly for the possibility to film again there (like a lot more films on the Roman Forum).
- Man, i would love to have David Fincher directing a new Alien film, with today's resources. Not only that he grew a lot as a director and can create great visual and sound suspense; but he also has a lot more credibility and access to resources than in his first Alien film. He would have a looot more creative control over it, and i sincerely think that, with the horror power of the Alien saga, he can make the best sci-fi horror film of the decade.
I think that ship has long sailed. Fincher could have re cut Alien 3. There would have been ample interest from fans of the franchise, but whatever he went through making that film, he never got over it, or never forgave the producers for constantly being on his back.
I was just talking to someone about how cool it would be if Fincher was willing to do another Alien movie.
I was thinking, too, the Nostromo is probably one of many similar ships owned by Weyland-Yutani and they could totally have the same layout/design for a different story on a different ship.
@@CinemaTyler Glad to know i'm not the only one who fantasizes with this hahaha. A solid screenplay (not like in Alien 3) would be the first step. Or maybe the matter of the copyrights of the Alien franchise.
@@santiagorojaspiaggio There'd be no rights issue if the rights owners produce the movie. The issue is the director. Fincher clearly isn't interested. Not even Ridley Scott can be trusted to make an Alien movie as classic as his original. Neill Blomkamp seemed enthusiastic in his efforts to get an Alien film made, but I've not seen enough greatness from him yet to tell me he'd make a classic. He'd make a good looking movie, but does he have the skills of Scott when it comes to infusing his film with subliminal details because it's those that make the original so special.
I could watch these videos all day man
Thanks!
Wonderfully analyzed and researched, i love your work Tyler, you deserve 1m subs and more!
Unrivaled masterpiece, still to this day
I love the analog tech design of the movie the industrial design just looks so cool and claustrophobic at the same time.
2:49 Aliens Dark Descent uses this exact same map for one level
That game is amazing
You're post production effects have gotten really slick. Good job mate!
The interior of the bomber in Kubrick's 'Dr Strangelove' must surely be an influence. I think too of those strange alienating shots of the helmets on the B-52 and the 'Nostromo'. A homage.
Yaphet koto, outstanding performance.
This is one of my favorite channels on UA-cam its top five for sure, the details given, your voice clear understandable easy to listen to not overbearing and the passion of the topic.
It's a fantastic channel.
Thanks so much!
@@CinemaTyler you're welcome. But the thanks should be to you, you put 100% in these videos and it's appreciated.
Loved the movie quite scary fantastic cast god bless those have passed away
Such creativity... Nothing like this around today🤔
The Alien dwells on the C deck were it's dark & damp & creepy & nobody goes unless they have to!!!!
It's funny because it's really a simple concept of the monster in the basement that's generally scary but it's executed so well in the movie. I find it odd how sometimes the simplest concepts get overlooked with today's movie making and screenplays. I always thought Alien would be still be creepy without the monster just being alone on a scary ship with chains dangling and dark wet basement areas and low lit corridors. They really knew what they were doing with making this film.
This is pure and undeniable Genius!!!!!
Just the concept explanations makes me high with inspiration!! This is so incredible and so artful!! So much care and thought went into this mysterious, dark, horrifying and mind expanding look at Sci-Fi cinema. This is just a fantastic movie alone regardless of category. 👍
Tyler I am a big fan of your channel since I saw the series on 2001. Your videos are fantastic, thanks for sharing
Always a true masterclass Tyler. Great work!
Wonderful video-thank you. I was lucky enough to see ALIEN on its opening weekend; I can vividly recall experiencing the psychological effects you break down so well here.
Another great video, thank you very much.
I cheered out loud when I saw a new CinemaTyler vid. Bravo!!
Tyler, you never disappoint. I learned so many new details from you. Thank you.
I remember when it came out. I read so much about how they made the movie, fascinated by Ridley Scott's genius and how he made us believe. I remember the face-hugger's blood and how it melted through what was obviously styrofoam in that one shot, but you don't care 'cuz you're gripping your knees in terror.
This is maybe my fav. set on every movie!
Love all the info and behind the scenes stuff on how they amped up the horror for this, fascinating stuff. Thank you so much for these, CT.
Love MUBI too. Haven't seen We need to talk about Kevin yet. Ezra Miller Plays a psychopathic child? in a movie as well?
I would love to see a scene with the alien running down a corridor and smacking into a low beam.
I love this. So much. Well done.
Im very disappointed in the youtube algorithm for not finding this channel for me... thx Adam Savage for mentioning it!
Greatest sci fi movie ever made + Aliens
What a nice surprise when I realized this was a new video. My second thought was "Why has it taken UA-cam 4 weeks to show it to me? 😠". lol Set design and atmosphere are two of the main reasons Alien has remained my favorite. However, in all these years I never had a sense of the Nostromo's full interior layout. This is awesome. Keep up the great work.
Your editing is so good. Bravo! 👏👏
Very few movies combine the talent of multiple artists to create an oustanding iconic movie. HR Giger being one of them collaborating in this project (oddly enough some of his concepts were repurposed from Jodorowsky's Dune).
Enjoyed the film. People as incubators for ET babies. Diggerer wasps. Implied all sorts of compatible biochemistry. Took note of the fact that rockets were used within the context of the film.
Excellent video, my second favourite film has a masterpiece of it's own in your video.
Al ver este excelente análisis me dan ganas de volver a ver la película
Alien is a masterpiece that stands the test of time. A hundred years from now it will be studied by people who want to tell stories (on whatever media is available in their time).
THIS to me .. is the best Movie I have ever seen - and I saw a lot
Nearly perfect. Maybe some think of the a technical bad cutting when Ash's Robohead getts pressed ontable and starts talking: No matter the illusion and so felt reality and claustrophobic atmospreare is outstanding and also creature design
and story twists are never gets old. Viewing this every year since nearly 30 years now is always a throw-back into the feelings first time I saw . Even Ridley Scott must have realised that every time he wanted to build up on this ..he failed (IMO SRY)
I saw this on Catalina Island in Avalon in 1979 as a 10 year old and I jumped 1 foot when that thing jumped on his face!!!👍
In spite of all this, "All that Jazz" won the Oscar for production design. Ridiculous.
Everyone says Alien is a horror film, but it's also a better science fiction film than most.
Always a pleasure, always fascinating.
Great video thanks for posting this.
I had an art book of all the designs and sets that was released about a week AFTER the movie came out. I bet every Alien buff must have bought it. It want thru 4 reprints in less than 6 months.
MASTERPIECE!!!!
*amazing!* ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
From the opening title sequence to the closing credits, an absolute masterpiece, in every way
Awesome content. Thank you for sharing dude
i have never seen any interior of a spaceship in any other movie that was more convincing than that of the one they created for the shooting of the film Alien.
These videos are absolutely fantastic. One special request. Would it be possible to edit all your "Alien" videos, into one single long documentary, without the ADS, which ruin it! thanks.

But,but..what about the bonus situation?
