Synopsis
Based upon CAPCOM'S videogame "Resident Evil", this is the third and final instalment of the $100 million RESIDENT EVIL hits and is directed by Russell Mulcahy (HIGHLANDER). RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION is written by Paul W S Anderson, who directed the first film and wrote all three films in the trilogy. RESIDENT EVIL: EXTINCTION picks up where the last film left off.
It's the end of the world...
The experimental T-Virus, invented by the Umbrella Corporation, has been unleashed on the world, transforming the population into a scourge of shambling zombies with a taste for flesh.
Carlos Olivera (Oded Fehr) and LJ (Mike Epps), along with new survivors Claire (Ali Larter), K-Mart (Spencer Locke) and Nurse Betty (Ashanti), have gathered a group of survivors and taken to the road leaving the dangerous cities behind. Travelling the empty desert highways in an armoured convoy, they are searching for more of their kind - the living ... the uninfected. What they find is the other constant presence in the desert: the Undead - and they'll need dozens of guns, thousands of bullets and a pair of flamethrowers to protect themselves.
Hidden beneath an abandoned Nevada radio tower are the sleek offices and research facilities of the Umbrella Corporation. With access to Umbrella's constant real-time satellite surveillance, Dr Isaacs (Iain Glen) can track the convoy. He's searching for the one person who not only is the key to a cure, but everything Umbrella's experiments have been leading up to... Alice.
A former captive of the Umbrella Corporation, Alice was subjected to biogenic experimentation that left her genetically altered, giving her superhuman strengths, senses and dexterity. Mutating by the minute, and under constant threat of betrayal by her own Umbrella-engineered DNA, Alice has been shadowing the convoy, standing by to protect them, hoping to somehow usher them to safety.
When the convoy decides to head north to Alaska where they feel this may be their last and best hope for refuge from the Undead, they take the decision to make a final pit-stop in Las Vegas to refuel......and stay out of Umbrella's sightlines if they ever hope to reach it.
Not only is Umbrella looking for Alice, but she is also looking for them... and she won't stop until they're shut down forever.
The fight is only just beginning...
