Alien

Legendary card

During its return to the earth, commercial spaceship Nostromo intercepts a distress signal from a distant planet. When a three-member team of the crew discovers a chamber containing thousands of eggs on the planet, a creature inside one of the eggs attacks an explorer. The entire crew is unaware of the impending nightmare set to descend upon them when the alien parasite planted inside its unfortunate host is birthed.

ATK comes from the number of votes the film has received on TMDb. It’s what sets the rarity. DEF comes from the audience rating, weighted so that a film with three votes can’t jump ahead. It doesn’t depend on rarity: a Common can excel at it.
