Resident Evil

The film begins in The Hive, a top-secret underground genetic research facility owned by the Umbrella Corporation located beneath Raccoon City. A man loads the T-Virus and its cure into a case, then tosses a vial of the virus inside a lab. Minutes later, the facility's security system kills everyone inside through various means. Elsewhere, Alice(Jovovich) awakens in the shower of an empty mansion with no recollection of her identity. As she walks a few feet outside the mansion door, the wind picks up and while she backs toward the door she is yanked inside by a man, however the two are immediately seized by a group of commandos. The man, Matthew (known as Matt through the movie) Addison, reveals himself to be a police officer, but the commandos handcuff him regardless. The team opens a mirror-door to an underground train station, discovering Spence, another unconscious victim. Alice recognizes Spence from a wedding photograph in the mansion, and looking at her wedding ring, she sees the inside of it reads: Property of the Umbrella Corporation. After some routine questioning it is discovered that he also suffers from amnesia.

 Alice.

The "One", as he was called, is the head of the commandos and explains that Alice, Spence, and the commandos, are employees of the Umbrella Corporation, and it was the Umbrella Corporation that sent the commando team to investigate why the Hive's defensive computer, the Red Queen, killed all Umbrella staff. She was responsible for releasing a nerve gas in the mansion which has caused Alice and Spence's amnesias, but throughout the film Alice begins to have glimpses of her past. The crew find their way to the Queen's chamber; however, as the bulk of the team attempt to disable the Red Queen, they are trapped in the corridor leading to the Queen's Chamber and are torn apart by a laser. This leaves Alice, Spence, Kaplan, J.D., Rain and Matt as the only survivors. Alice and Kaplan shut the Queen down, but in doing so open the doors of the facility, releasing the undead staff and experiments from the laboratories in which they were imprisoned. Rain becomes infected after receiving multiple bite wounds, and a battle ensues in which Matt and Alice are separated and J.D. is killed. Alice discovers that Matt was not a police officer, and used the title as a cover in his goal to help take down the Umbrella Corporation. Matt, with the help of his sister, Lisa, attempts to smuggle a sample of the T-Virus, the cause of the zombies, but the two were unsuccessful. Matt believes this to be the fault of Lisa's contact, who supposedly betrayed her. Throughout the film Alice has flashbacks, showing herself as Lisa's contact, but Alice is not fully aware of her role in the events.

Soon, the survivors are once more united at the Queen's chamber and are forced to switch her back on for aid in an exit. Kaplan overrides the Queen's circuit-breaker, causing the next time she is disabled to be permanent, and the Red Queen somewhat agrees to aid the team. As Alice and the others try to escape through the maintenance tunnels, they are ambushed by zombies. Rain becomes severely injured and begins to weaken, while Kaplan is separated from the rest of the team and is assumed dead. On their way to the train, Alice remembers that an anti-virus exists that could cure the ailing Rain. However, arriving at the lab, they realize that the vials containing the T-Virus and anti-virus are gone. Spence, gaining his memory, is then shown as the person who released the virus. He points a gun at the survivors, and threatens them, trapping the others in the laboratory and making for the train where the case containing the anti-virus is. Before he can inject himself, however, he is killed by a Licker, a mutant-creature created by injecting the T-Virus directly into living tissue. The Queen offers to spare Alice and Matt's life if they kill Rain, who has been infected for the longest period of time. As the Licker attempts to bash through the lab window to get to them, the enraged Alice smashes the Queen's monitor, and there is suddenly a power-outage. The laboratory door opens to reveal Kaplan, who has permanently disabled the Red Queen.

The remaining four survivors hurry to get to the other end of the underground railway before it shuts down in a quarantine attempt. However, the Licker is on the train; it scratches Matt and kills Kaplan. Alice battles the Licker while Matt kills Rain who, despite being given the cure, has turned into a zombie. Matt and Alice emerge as the only survivors, and escape at the last moment when the doors close. Matt begins to suffer a mutation from an injury inflicted by the Licker, and the two are seized by Umbrella scientists. The scientists mention sending Matt to the "Nemesis Program"; a role detailed further in the film's sequel.^[3] Alice attempts to fend off the scientists, but is ultimately subdued. As the struggle fades to black, the words of one of the head scientists are heard, "We're reopening the Hive, I want to know what really went on down there. Just do it." Sometime later, Alice awakens at the Raccoon City Hospital, having gone through extensive testing and confined within a locked observation room. After escaping the room and wandering the hospital's empty halls, Alice exits the building to find Raccoon City abandoned with apparent signs of chaos everywhere. Alice acquires a shotgun from a nearby police car, anticipating the danger ahead, as screams are heard, the camera pans to show the destruction of the city, at which point the film ends.

Resident Evil: Apocalypse

The film begins with Alice recalling the key events from the first film. On September 29, 2002, thirteen hours after the initial T-Virus outbreak in The Hive, the Umbrella Corporation sends in a research team to re-open the complex. As the team enters The Hive through a secret insertion point beneath Raccoon City, the entire team is slaughtered by zombies and Lickers who have been sealed within the complex. Realizing the entrance is now open, and the virus and infectious zombies will make their way to the surface, Umbrella establishes a security perimeter around the city to keep the citizens in a quarantined area.

As civilians reach the checkpoints, Umbrella operatives screen them for traces of any infection, until Major Timothy Cain, orders all checkpoints to be closed as the infection already reached the gates and informs remaining citizens to return to their homes. Meanwhile, Alice wakes up in a downtown hospital, and recalls her recent memories. After surviving The Hive, Alice was recovered by Umbrella and used for experimentation. She has gained superhuman powers because the T-Virus bonded with her blood on a cellular level. As she exits the hospital, she recognizes the virus has escaped causing devastation in the streets and makes her way to a police car where she grabs a shotgun from the front seat.

Elsewhere, Carlos Olivera and two other Umbrella soldiers Nicholai Ginovaef  and Yuri Loginova link up with multiple Special Tactics And Rescue Service units in an attempt to hold against an onslaught of zombies in the street. However they are overrun, causing Carlos and his team to fall back with an infected Yuri who was bitten during the battle. Jill Valentine (a S.T.A.R.S. unit member) together with Terri Morales and Peyton Wells retreat to a church, where they are attacked by Lickers before being saved by Alice. In the church it is revealed that Terri Morales is recording their encounters with the zombies and other monsters in case they survive the outbreak.

When the infection reached critical stages, Umbrella dispatched their Nemesis program to kill all remaining S.T.A.R.S. operatives, and when he encounters L.J., and thirteen other members of S.T.A.R.S, they open fire on him, before he guns them down, sparing only L.J.'s life when he drops his weapons. Dr. Charles Ashford, a key Umbrella scientist and creator of the T-Virus, has refused extraction by Umbrella until he has located and rescued his daughter Angela. As he hacks into Raccoon City's network of closed circuit cameras, he determines she is hiding out in her school and contacts Alice and her group. He informs them that Umbrella's method of sanitizing Raccoon City is by nuking it, but he offers to arrange for an evacuation in exchange for rescuing Angela. Inside the school, the group encounter Carlos and his team, who have also been given the same offer. After various encounters with zombie dogs and infected children who kill Nicholai and Terri respectively (Terri's video camera records her death), they succeed in finding Angela, leaving the remaining survivors to escape and head towards the extraction point. Alice records her story with Terri's video camera as they travel to the extraction point.

When contacted by Alice about their success, Ashford gives them the location of the extraction point, and tells them "it is lightly guarded." After subduing all of the guards, Alice and the other survivors are confronted by Major Cain. Cain had been aware of Ashford's plan, captured him, and finally kills him. Major Cain forces Alice to fight Nemesis. As she defeats Nemesis in hand-to-hand combat, she realizes his true identity (her former friend, Matt Addison) and refuses to deliver the killing blow. Her mercy appears to rekindle a trace of Nemesis's former humanity, and they join forces and attack the Umbrella troops. Nemesis is killed in the ensuing fight, and Alice and the others escape in the helicopter, leaving Major Cain on the ground. Major Cain picks up a pistol and fires it into the rapidly growing crowd of approaching zombies several times, then tries to kill himself with the pistol, only to find that it is out of bullets. Ironically, the first person to reach him is Dr. Ashford who, paralyzed from the waist down, manages to crawl over and bite him. He is eaten alive by the rest of the zombies. Then, the N-2 Missile reaches the city, and destroys it.

The helicopter is caught in the blast radius, the shock wave dislodging a piece of metal that hurtles towards Angela. Alice leaps in front of her and is impaled by it. The helicopter then crashes into the Arklay Mountains. Alice is recovered by Umbrella, but the rest of the occupants escape before the crash site is located. Terri's video is recovered and released, and flashes of news scenes appear. At first the scenes show a public suspicious of Umbrella, but it is soon revealed Umbrella hushed up the incident, saying it was nothing more than a sick joke playing on the accident at Raccoon City. Umbrella explains the nuclear explosion on a failed reactor, and by the end of the series of news clips, Terri's video seems to have been regarded as a hoax, and those featuring in it are called in by the police for questioning.

Alice is taken to the Detroit Umbrella research station, where, after several weeks, she awakens in a giant water tank, completely regenerated from her injuries. Led by Umbrella scientist Dr. Isaacs, the doctors query her. At first, she appears to have no memory, but soon a rapid series of images of recent events come flashing back, and she says with contempt "My name is Alice… and I remember everything." She fights her way out of the facility showing some of her darkest powers yet, only to be surrounded by dozens of armed guards. Suddenly, Jill, Carlos and L.J., disguised as Umbrella employees, pull up in an SUV. Carlos shows the guards a written order placing Alice in his custody. The guards stand down, and as Alice enters the waiting vehicle she sees Angela in the back seat. Angela asks Alice if she is alright as they drive away, to which Alice doesn't respond. Dr. Isaacs is shown announcing "Program Alice Activated," and a close-up of Alice's eye reveals a flashing Umbrella logo as the film comes to an end.

Resident Evil: Extinction

Following the events of the Raccoon City incident in Apocalypse, the T-Virus escaped containment despite the nuclear destruction of the city. The virus having spread from Raccoon City to San Francisco, the Umbrella Corporation was unable to contain it after a second outbreak.The virus quickly spread across the world, drying up the lakes, rivers, and continents while infecting the majority of the human population and spreading to other species. In 2007, after five years, almost every living creature has become a zombie, and life across the planet is on the verge of extinction. The Umbrella Corporation appears to be the only organized society of humans left, its remnants forced to live underground in Hive-like constructs dispersed around the world.

Alice, Umbrella's greatest bio-organic weapon, is now alone in the desert wastelands of the remains of the United States after learning that the corporation has the ability to track her location via satellite. She has super-human strength and psionic abilities gained from her brief imprisonment by Umbrella. Umbrella considers re-capturing Alice a top priority because of her blood's ability to bond with the T-Virus. Dr. Sam Isaacs believes that he can use blood from the original Alice to develop a permanent cure to save what is left of humanity, as well as tame the undead to create a sub-human workforce. Umbrella chairman Albert Wesker orders Isaacs to create a cure without Alice, using clones created from her blood. Wesker refuses to authorize manpower to recover Alice until they are 100% sure where she is, due to the high risk involved in missions on the surface. The Alice clones endure tests within the re-created Spencer Mansion, The Hive, and Raccoon City Hospital locations, but none survive. The bodies of the failed Alices are dumped in a drainage ditch alongside Umbrella's fenced-in desert compound. Hordes of zombies gather around the perimeter.

Meanwhile, Claire Redfield's convoy, which includes fellow Raccoon survivors Carlos Olivera and L.J., along with new survivors K-Mart, Mikey, Chase and Nurse Betty, are attempting to survive in this dystopia. While searching a small motel for supplies, L.J. is surprised by a lurking zombie and bitten. He does not tell the others. The next morning a flock of infected crows gathers and begins to attack the convoy. The battle is going badly for the convoy, when suddenly a reluctant Alice appears. She uses her newly-developing telekinetic powers to incinerate the flock by covering the sky in flames from a nearby flamethrower. Despite Alice's help, Nurse Betty, Otto, and five others die in the attack.

Back at Umbrella, Dr. Isaacs' attempts to domesticate the undead have led to a new breed of zombie (similar to the previously-seen Crimson Heads). The new Super Zombie's aggression, bloodlust, and resistance to harm are greatly enhanced. Isaacs' work is discovered by Captain Slate Wesker's subordinate, of a higher rank than Dr. Isaacs. Slater reprimands Isaacs, but grudgingly admits that these Super Zombies may be useful in capturing Project Alice.

Alice is introduced to Claire, and gives her a diary she had found in a deserted gas station. The diary tells of radio transmissions claiming that there are living humans in Alaska, and that there is no infection or undead there. Alice and Carlos convince Claire that the convoy should make an attempt to reach Alaska before the rest of them are killed. Claire, unable to make such a big decision herself, puts it to a vote of the convoy. The other survivors agree to try for Alaska, but realize that they need to be resupplied in order to make it. With no other alternative, the leaders of the group decide to search for supplies in Las Vegas. The Umbrella corporation, with the help of a new artificial intelligence called the White Queen, is able to triangulate Alice's location based on the use of her psionic powers. Dr. Isaacs defies Wesker's direct orders and has a crate of his new Super Zombies transported to the convoy's destination. The convoy is ambushed by the new zombies, and a horrific battle ensues. In the carnage, Mikey is brutally killed along with Chase, L.J. turns into a zombie and bites Carlos before being shot, and most of the convoy is killed. Once Umbrella sees Alice is in position, they attempt to "shut her down" and control her actions. She is rendered catatonic for several minutes, thus unable to aid at the most critical part of the battle. She resists Umbella's control and, using her psionic powers, is finally able to destroy the CPU on Umbrella's tracking satellite. She locates Isaacs at the scene of the battle, just as he slips away in a helicopter. A Super Zombie bites him just before it takes off. When asked by K-Mart why she didn't shoot, she responds "we're not driving to Alaska. I want that chopper intact." They follow the helicopter's flight path, thus learning Umbrella's underground location, and plan an assault to gain the supplies needed for their escape to Alaska.

The convoy survivors find the Umbrella facility surrounded by hundreds of zombies. Carlos' infection has gone beyond a cure, and he decides to sacrifice himself for the convoy. Alice and Carlos kiss before he departs; he drives a gasoline tanker truck to the facility's entrance and sets off a dynamite charge, plowing a path through the zombies for Alice and Claire to drive through. All but Alice, who stays behind to exact her revenge on the Umbrella Corporation, depart on the helicopter, piloted by Claire.

Dr. Isaacs, having been arrested by Umbrella after his return from the failed mission, has been locked in his lab. Ordered to "liquidate" Isaacs, Slater finds him sprawled at his lab desk, injecting himself with massive doses of Anti-Virus. Isaacs explains that the strain of T-Virus carried by the Super Zombies is more potent, having been mixed with Alice's blood, and therefore he needs much more Anti-Virus. However, for the first time we see the opposite effect of too much Anti-Virus: Isaacs starts to mutate. He is shot by Slater, but has already mutated into a Tyrant. Isaacs goes on a rampage, killing all the employees in the facility. The White Queen manages to confine Isaacs in the lower levels of the lab. Entering the facility, Alice meets a holographic representation of the White Queen. The recent homicidal tendencies of her sister fresh in Alice's mind, she nevertheless strikes an uneasy truce with her. The White Queen informs Alice that her blood is the cure to the T-Virus, and can end the madness. The Queen then informs Alice of her current problem with Dr. Isaacs, and Alice agrees to deal with him.

On her way to the lab's lower levels, Alice comes across a clone of herself still in a vegetative state. As she is examining the clone, Isaacs suddenly attacks her. She makes her escape, impaling him with a kukri knife. The clone awakens, but the shock of the sudden awakening apparently kills her. Alice covers the clone in her coat and goes after Isaacs. She finds herself in a replica of the Spencer Mansion, where a battle between Isaacs and Alice ensues, with both displaying use of telekinesis and cunning skill and strategy. When the fight spills into a replica of the laser corridor from The Hive, Alice grimly informs Isaacs that they are both to die there when the lasers activate. The laser grid slices Isaacs into pieces in the same fashion as the character One in Resident Evil, but just as Alice is about to meet the same fate, the lasers deactivate. The clone of Alice is shown to have turned off the lasers in the nick of time.

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Japan, Wesker informs the rest of the Umbrella board that the North American branch has been lost, and he will now control further scientific experimentation from Japan. Using holographic technology, Alice makes an appearance at the board meeting, declaring that she and her friends are coming for them now. Standing beside the clone of herself, Alice looks onto the rows of pods containing other clones, their numbers in the hundreds. As many clones begin to awaken, the film ends.
