Osmi potnik: Zaveza je nadaljevanje filma Prometej (Prometheus), predzgodbe prvega dela franšize Osmi potnik, znanstvenofantastične grozljivke Ridleyja Scotta iz leta 1979. Šesti film franšize bo pripovedoval zgodbo posadke kolonialne ladje Covenant, ki pristane na sicer čudovitem, toda sovražnem planetu, kjer naletijo na androida Davida (Michael Fassbender), enega od dveh preživelih članov odprave Prometej, ki je doživela svoj konec v prejšnjem filmu.
Mitološki dokazi o izvoru človeštva na Zemlji usmerijo posadko raziskovalcev proti neraziskanim kotičkom vesolja. Tam pa jih čaka boj za prihodnost človeške rase. Režiser Osmega potnika in Iztrebljevalca Ridley Scott se vrača k žanru, ki ga je proslavil. Loteva se prelomnih odkritij v mitologiji, kjer dokazi o izvoru človeštva na Zemlji usmerijo posadko raziskovalcev proti neraziskanim kotičkom vesolja. Tam pa jih čaka boj za prihodnost človeške rase. Naletijo na nezemeljsko raso vesoljskih popotnikov, ki naj bi bili stvaritelji človeštva in ustvarjalci življenja na Zemlji. Za posadko vesoljske ladje "Prometej" na svoji milijarde dolarjev vredni misiji so to torej nič manj kot bogovi. Tako kot pri mitološkem Prometeju pa je izzivanje bogov zelo tvegano početje.
