Considering the age of that actor I'm assuming that date wasn't too long before Ripley caught Burke. So there's two possible dates to consider. Prometheus started New Years day, Add 57 years to that from Ripley's cryo-sleep and it appears the year for Aliens is AD. Or the next century. Or the next. But Prometheus' setting was definitely for most of movie. The Alien Universe Timeline website's "" page places the events seen in Alien in The film Alien takes place in the year a.
This is the answer because in the old Rolling Stone magazine issue about Alien in , the screenwriters say that it is the 's on earth. Then the screenplay says that humanity is just beginning to explore the stars. Director Ridley Scott also states that the film could take place any year into the future, but also, say, years ahead. What fictional future date makes more sense? In the film, the computer keyboard is like a 20th century's keyboard.
Also makes sense with the still future machine gun technology of its sequel Aliens Also its prequel, Outland , takes place in the year And it's most likely sequel Total Recall takes place in the year a. Finally, 20th Century Fox, which made the films, officially went with the date for 20 years, from to , before they officially changed their position on the year. So, the best and most realistic official date for Alien is a.

The film was directed by Denis Villeneuve. They have a sneaky resemblance to the Engineers.
