What is the title of David Fincher's first feature film?

David Fincher's first feature film was Alien 3. Released in 1992, it was the third entry in the Alien franchise and marked Fincher's transition from directing music videos and commercials to feature filmmaking.

The film follows Ellen Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver, after her escape pod crashes on Fiorina 161, a prison colony. Fincher joined a troubled production that had already gone through multiple scripts and proposed directors. He was only 29 when filming began, making Alien 3 an unusually ambitious debut.

Alien 3 became known for its dark atmosphere, bleak ending, and difficult production history. Fincher later said studio interference prevented the finished film from matching his original vision. A longer Assembly Cut was released in 2003, offering revised scenes and additional material.

A common mix-up is assuming Se7en was Fincher's first feature because it was his breakthrough success. Se7en was actually his third film, following Alien 3 and The Game.
