Short description

Aboard a hijacked Engineer vessel, Dr. Shaw repairs David as they make their way to the home-world of the Engineers, whom Shaw believes are humanity’s creators. 'The Crossing' is an official prologue short to 'Alien: Covenant', revealing what happened to crew members Dr. Elizabeth Shaw and the synthetic David after the events of 'Prometheus'.

What's left behind the scenes

David reads the poem “Ozymandias” by Percy Shelley (1792-1822), whose wife Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was the author of the epistolary Gothic novel “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus” (1818). The film “Alien: Covenant” (Ridley Scott, 2017) shows that David has a lot in common with Frankenstein.
