One of the only survivors of a man-made plague joins forces with a team of private warriors in a bid to save what's left of the Earth in this sequel to
Resident Evil, the big-screen adaptation of the popular video game. Picking up where the first film left off,
Resident Evil: Apocalypse finds
Alice (
Milla Jovovich) still battling the living dead who are overtaking Raccoon City, inoculated with an anti-virus by the nefarious and all-powerful Umbrella Corporation (in addition to the virus itself).
Alice encounters
Jill Valentine (
Sienna Guillory), a former member of Umbrella's internal defense team. Forming an alliance with mercenary-for-hire
Carlos Olivera (
Oded Fehr) and his cohorts, this tiny band of survivors seeks out
Dr. Charles Ashford (
Jared Harris), Umbrella's top scientist and one of the only men with the know-how to find a solution to the zombie menace; however, they discover that
Ashford's cooperation comes with a price -- the scientist's daughter
Angie (
Sophie Vavasseur) is missing, and he'll help
Alice and her partners only if
Angie is returned to him safe and sound.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse was the first solo directorial credit for
Alexander Witt, who previously distinguished himself as a cinematographer and second-unit director. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
