Alien on Stage is a 2020 British documentary film about a group of bus drivers from Dorset who put on a stage version of Alien instead of their usual annual pantomime production, and are invited to perform at the Leicester Square Theatre in London's West End.[1][2]

It won the Audience Award for best documentary at the 2021 Leeds International Film Festival,[3] and the Silver Scream Award at the 2021 Imagine Film Festival.[4]

The film's tagline is "In Dorset no one can hear you scream!", and The Guardian's reviewer described it as "warm and full of laughs".[2]
