The story
After escaping with Newt and Hicks from the alien planet, Ripley crash lands on Fiorina 161, a prison planet and host to a correctional facility. Unfortunately, although Newt and Hicks do not survive the crash, a more unwelcome visitor does. The prison does not allow weapons of any kind, and with aid being a long time away, the prisoners must simply survive in any way they can.
Alien 3 recap
A fire aboard the Sulaco ejects the hypersleep pod, which crashes on Fiorina 161, a foundry prison planet for violent male inmates who have found religion. Ripley is the only survivor: Hicks and Newt are dead and Bishop is wrecked. A facehugger came with them, and a creature soon bursts from a dog and kills inmates. The prison doctor, Clemens, takes Ripley's side and sleeps with her, but the alien kills him. The inmates, led by the preacher Dillon, have no weapons, and the company says it is sending a rescue ship. The alien spares Ripley, and she discovers why: she has an Alien Queen embryo growing inside her. She asks Dillon to kill her, but first the prisoners must kill the creature.
Alien 3 ending explained
The prisoners lure the alien into a mould and pour molten lead on it, and Ripley finishes it with cold water. The Weyland-Yutani team arrives, led by a man who looks like Bishop and claims to be his creator, offering to remove the embryo. Ripley refuses and falls backward into the furnace, holding the Queen as it bursts from her chest. The only surviving prisoner is taken away.
