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. ~
