Synopsis

She thought they were contained. She thought she was free. She was wrong.

Milla Jovovich returns as Alice, who awakens from a terrible sleep to find her worst fears realized - the bloodthirsty Undead, which she and a now-annihilated squad of elite military fought to destroy, have been unleashed on the city that surrounds the secret facility of the Umbrella Corporation. Discovering she was an Umbrella experiment, Alice has been bio-genetically enhanced with new strengths, senses and dexterity...and she will need them.

In the heart of the ravaged Raccoon City, a small group of uninfected people, including Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) - a recently demoted member of Umbrella Corp's elite Special Tactics and Rescue Services (S.T.A.R.S.) team, and S.T.A.R.S. team leader Carlos Oliveira (Oded Fehr), fight for their lives against swarms of Undead and the deadlier and faster Lickers. Running out of luck and resources, the group is rescued by Alice, and they begin to wage an exhilaratingly desperate battle to survive and escape before the Umbrella Corporation erases its experiment from the face of the earth.

Their only hope lies somewhere within Raccoon City... Dr. Charles Ashford (Jared Harris), one of the leading scientists for the Umbrella Corporation, will help Alice and the others escape the city safely - if they find his daughter. Angie Ashford (Sophie Vavasseur) became separated from her father and now hides in fear. Alice, Jill and Carlos will have to fight their way through an army of Undead to save her.

All the while, a secret weapon code-named Nemesis has been experimentally altered with greater modifications than Alice and has been programmed to track and destroy them - if the relentless, ravenous Undead don't get to the group first.

Alice, Jill and Carlos will need all of their strengths and skills to fight the battle of their lives against the mindless evil that has infected the city and the powerful forces that unleashed it on mankind.

RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE is the all-out action and horror sequel to the $100 million hit RESIDENT EVIL, which is based on the gaming phenomenon of the same name. In the follow-up film, Alice joins forces with the tough-as-nails lead characters in the popular Capcom game. RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE is written by Paul W S Anderson, who wrote and directed the first film, which was created as a prequel to establish the cinematic world of the series from the video game. RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE delves deeper into the world created in the games with major action sequences that come from the unique genre of survival horror. Helming the latest installment is Alexander Witt (2nd unit director of THE ITALIAN JOB, DAREDEVIL and PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN), who makes his feature film directorial debut.
