Watch: This North Bergen High School Sci-Fi Play Went Viral

A group of North Jersey high school students are gaining international attention for their spring play.

The drama students at North Bergen High School raised money to build the elaborate set and make the stunning costumes for their adaptation of Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi thriller "Alien." 

The performance ran on March 19 and 22.

Although the movie's budget was around $10 million. The student's play? Everything was made from donated or recycled materials -- but you'd never know.
