Alien: Earth

In 2120, five corporations run Earth. Weyland-Yutani's ship Maginot crashes into New Siam, a Prodigy city, carrying alien specimens, a Xenomorph among them. Young trillionaire Boy Kavalier, Prodigy's owner, sends in his hybrids: terminally ill children whose minds were moved into adult synthetic bodies. Their leader, Wendy, learns that her brother, medic Joe Hermit, is among the first responders. The hybrids, who call themselves the Lost Boys, bring the creatures to Kavalier's island lab, where synthetic scientist Kirsh studies them. Cyborg Morrow, the Maginot's only survivor, wants the specimens back. In the end, Wendy locks up the adults and declares: now, we rule.
