Plot and Details:
Resident Evil is an action horror film series based on the Japanese video game franchise by Capcom.
The
German studio Constantin Film bought the rights to adapt the series to
live-action in January 1997. In 2000, Paul W. S. Anderson was announced
as writer and director for Resident Evil (2002). Anderson continued as
writer and producer for Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) and Resident
Evil: Extinction (2007), and returned as the director for Resident Evil:
Afterlife (2010), Resident Evil: Retribution (2012) and Resident Evil:
The Final Chapter (2016). These first six films follow Alice (Milla
Jovovich), a character created for the films. Alice is a former security
specialist and covert operative who battles the Umbrella Corporation,
whose bioweapons have triggered a zombie apocalypse. Characters from the
games appear, including Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, Ada Wong,
Carlos Olivera, Chris Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, Barry Burton and the
antagonists Albert Wesker and James Marcus. In 2021, a reboot film,
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, was released.
Though the
films have received generally negative reviews from critics, the
Resident Evil series has grossed over $1.2 billion. It was once the
highest-grossing film series based on a video game and the
highest-grossing horror film series, and is the highest-grossing zombie
film series.[1][2][3][4] The series retains the record for the most
live-action film adaptations of a video game.[3]

Milla Jovovich portrayed Alice in the original six films.
Countries in which the original Resident Evil film series was filmed
In
January 1997, Constantin Film acquired the live-action film rights to
the Resident Evil franchise with Alan B. McElroy possibly writing the
script.[5] George A. Romero was hired by Sony Pictures and Capcom to
direct and write Resident Evil. His script was later rejected and he was
ultimately dropped.[6][7] While Romero's script was supported by a
number of people from Capcom and Constantin, it was rejected by
Constantin producer Bernd Eichinger,[8] as well as Capcom producer
Yoshiki Okamoto.[9] In late 2000, Paul W. S. Anderson was announced as
director and writer.[10] Anderson stated the film would not include any
tie-ins with the video game series as "under-performing movie tie-ins
are too common and Resident Evil, of all games, deserved a good
celluloid representation".[11] In 2001, Milla Jovovich was cast as
Alice, the protagonist of the film.[12] By May 2001, Columbia TriStar
was in final negotiations to acquire North American distribution rights
to the film and budgeted it at $40 million.[13]
In the film, the
Umbrella Corporation operates a secret genetic research facility named
the Hive. Located beneath Raccoon City, the Hive has been sealed by its
AI, the Red Queen, after the release of the T-virus into the facility.
The Red Queen kills everyone in the facility to ensure that the T-virus
doesn't reach the surface, but the T-virus reanimates them, transforming
the humans and animals into aggressive zombies and mutants. Alice was
once a security operative working for the corporation until her memory
was wiped by the Red Queen's nerve gas. As her team investigates the
Hive, a monstrous Umbrella test subject called a Licker pursues them
onto a train. Alice survives along with teammate Matt Addison, but they
are separated and taken by an Umbrella hazmat unit, where Matt begins to
genetically transform. Alice awakens from a coma to a ravaged Raccoon
City after a T-virus outbreak.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Main article: Resident Evil: Apocalypse
A
sequel began production in 2003 after the success of the first
film.[14] Anderson returned as the writer but, due to his work on Alien
vs. Predator, Alexander Witt took over the director's role.[15] The film
released on September 10, 2004.
In the film, the viral outbreak
reaches the surface and to contain the infection, Major Timothy Cain
seals all exits to and from Raccoon City. Among the people trapped in
the city are Jill Valentine and her partner Peyton Wells. After Alice
awakens from her coma, she rescues Jill and Peyton from a group of
Licker monsters. They are contacted by Dr. Charles Ashford, who directs
them to an evacuation point in exchange for the rescue of his daughter
Angela, trapped elsewhere in the city. Weapon Nemesis attacks the team
after Cain commands it to kill all STARS (Special Tactics And Rescue
Service) members. The team rescues Angela and makes its way to the
evacuation helicopter guided by Umbrella mercenary Carlos Olivera. After
Alice's confrontation with Cain and Nemesis leaves them dead, she and
the team fly away from Raccoon City as it is destroyed by a nuclear
missile. The helicopter crashes in the Arklay Mountains, and Alice is
found by an Umbrella search team and taken to a research station. When
Alice awakens, she displays extraordinary powers, and escapes with help
from Jill and Carlos. As they drive away, Dr. Alexander Isaacs, a
top-ranking Umbrella employee, reveals that Alice's escape is part of
Umbrella's plan.
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Main article: Resident Evil: Extinction
In
November 2005, Screen Gems gained the rights for the third installment
in the franchise, which was then subtitled Extinction.[16] Anderson
returned as a writer and filming took place in Mexico. Russell Mulcahy
was the director. The film was released on September 21, 2007.[17]
The
world has been consumed by the T-virus and Umbrella Corporation
develops clones of Alice to find one who displays her powers. Elsewhere,
Claire Redfield leads a convoy of survivors across the Nevada desert,
including Raccoon City survivors Carlos Olivera and L.J. Wayne. Alice
roams the country alone, staying off the grid. After accidentally
destroying her motorcycle, she joins Redfield's convoy, rescuing them
from a mob of attacking crows using her telekinetic powers. Alice and
the convoy head to Las Vegas to gather supplies so that they can reach
Alaska to find "Arcadia", thought to be a safe haven. In Las Vegas, they
are ambushed by a group of Umbrella Corporation's new super zombies
created by Dr. Alexander Isaacs, which kills most of the convoy. L.J.,
who had been bitten earlier and hiding the progress of the infection,
now completely transforms and bites Olivera. Dr. Isaacs himself is
bitten and retreats to the Umbrella base where he injects himself with
large doses of the anti-virus as a cure. He transforms into a Tyrant, a
towering creature with regenerative and psionic powers. Alice, Claire
and Carlos locate a helicopter in Umbrella base and plan to use it to
extract the survivors to Alaska. Olivera makes his last stand by
sacrificing himself and plowing his truck into a horde of zombies,
giving the rest time to load the survivors. Claire and the survivors
head towards Alaska, while Alice stays behind to confront Isaacs, and
discovers her clones in the facility. After she defeats Isaacs, Alice
contacts Umbrella and warns them that she is coming for them with an
army of her clones.
Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Main article: Resident Evil: Afterlife
Before
the third installment had been released, Constantin prepared to release
a fourth entry.[18] The film was set in Japan and filmed in 3D with the
Fusion Camera System developed by James Cameron and Vince Pace for the
2009 film Avatar.[19] It was written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson
and released on September 10, 2010.
After the events of
Extinction, Alice and her clones attack the Umbrella Headquarters in
Tokyo. Wesker escapes and destroys the facility, killing the clones. He
is confronted by Alice aboard his helicopter, and injects her with a
serum that removes her super-human abilities. The helicopter crashes,
and only Alice is seen emerging from the rubble. After six months of a
failed aerial search for other survivors, Alice heads toward the
supposed location of Arcadia. She lands on an airfield in Alaska, and
finds Claire with an Umbrella controlling device attached to her chest
and a wiped memory. Claire and Alice fly to Los Angeles, where they
stumble on a prison wherein they meet Luther West and Chris Redfield,
Claire's brother. The survivors explain that Arcadia is really a tanker
off the coast that has been broadcasting a looped message and is picking
up survivors. During an attempted escape, Alice, Claire and Chris are
the only ones to emerge and they reach the tanker only to find it
abandoned. Claire's memory begins to return and she remembers Umbrella
workers attacking her group of survivors and moving them to the tanker.
They learn that the ship is an Umbrella research facility, which is
conducting experiments on the survivors. The three meet Albert Wesker,
who has been granted super-human abilities from the T-virus. After the
fight, Alice transmits a message to survivors calling them to create a
new and true safe haven. As the film closes, a fleet of Umbrella
Corporation gunships led by Valentine prepares to lead an assault on the
survivors.
Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)
Main article: Resident Evil: Retribution
Written
and directed by Anderson, Retribution was planned to be filmed back to
back with the sixth installment, but Anderson decided to focus on the
fifth film.[20] Filming took place in Toronto, Ontario from mid-October
to December 23, 2011.[21] Colin Salmon who played One and Michelle
Rodriguez who played Rain Ocampo in the first film returned.[22][23]
Oded Fehr, who portrayed Carlos Olivera in the second and third film,
also returned. Three characters from the video games made their debut in
the film series, Johann Urb as Leon S. Kennedy, Kevin Durand as Barry
Burton, and Li Bingbing as Ada Wong.[24][25] It was released
internationally on September 14, 2012.[21]
Alice awakens in an
Umbrella base where she is interrogated by Valentine. During a power
failure orchestrated by Ada Wong, Alice escapes from her cell and
encounters her. Wong explains that Wesker plans to aid Alice's escape
and battle the base's supercomputer Red Queen, to save what's left of
mankind. Wesker has organized a team of freelance operatives to
infiltrate the base and help Alice and Ada escape, including Leon S.
Kennedy, Barry Burton and Luther West. Along the way, Alice finds a
clone of a girl named Becky. They also face clone versions of Carlos
Olivera, One and Rain Ocampo, all under the direction of Valentine.
After Alice meets with the rescue team, Valentine's soldiers catch up to
them, resulting in a shootout that kills Burton, Olivera and One.
Alice, West, Kennedy and Becky reach the surface and are met by a
submarine, from which Valentine, the clone Rain, and a captured Ada
emerge. Valentine battles Alice while Rain fights Kennedy and West.
Alice manages to remove the scarab device from Valentine, returning her
back to normal, and joins Kennedy in defeating Rain. Alice, Ada, Becky,
Leon and Valentine travel to Wesker's base. Wesker injects Alice with
the T-virus, returning her superhuman powers, then tells her that she is
responsible for saving the remaining humans from extinction.[26]
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016)
Main article: Resident Evil: The Final Chapter
Anderson
wrote and directed the sixth and final film in the series, subtitled
The Final Chapter, which was filmed in 2D and was post-converted to
stereoscopic 3D.[27][28][29] Milla Jovovich reprised her role as Alice,
with only Shawn Roberts, Iain Glen and Ali Larter returning from
previous entries as Albert Wesker, Dr. Isaacs and Claire Redfield,
respectively. Continuing from the last film, Anderson expressed his
desire for the final film to "come full circle", bringing back
characters, themes and the environment of the Hive from the first
movie.[27] Filming was set to begin in South Africa in August 2014 but
was delayed to the summer of 2015 due to Jovovich's pregnancy. Principal
photography commenced on September 18, 2015, in South Africa.[29] It
was released on December 23, 2016, in Tokyo and on January 27, 2017, in
North America.[30][31][32]
Three weeks after the events in
Retribution, humanity is on its last legs after Alice is betrayed by
Wesker in Washington D.C. Alice encounters the Red Queen, who tells her
that she must return to Raccoon City, where the Umbrella Corporation has
developed an airborne anti-virus which will kill every organism
infected by the T-virus. In a race against time, Alice is captured by
Dr. Isaacs, who reveals his previous incarnation was a clone. Alice
escapes and arrives in Raccoon City, where she joins forces with Claire
Redfield. After holding off Dr. Isaacs' undead army, Alice, Claire and a
team of survivors make their way towards the Hive. They encounter the
Red Queen, who tells them the T-virus was created by James Marcus, the
founder of the Umbrella Corporation to save his daughter, Alicia, from
an ailment that caused her to age rapidly. James was betrayed by his
business partner, Dr. Isaacs, and killed by Albert Wesker. Dr. Isaacs
and the board of the Umbrella Corporation then intended to release the
T-virus to cleanse the world, save the rich and powerful with cryogenics
in the Hive, and later rebuild it as they desire. After confronting
Wesker and the real Dr. Isaacs at the bottom of the Hive, Alice learns
she is a clone of the still-living Alicia Marcus. Alice releases the
anti-virus, eliminating all infected by the T-virus. She survives, and
gains the memories of Alicia Marcus as a reward to reclaim the childhood
she never had. The series ends with Alice riding a motorcycle, stating
that her job isn't finished yet and that it will take several years for
the anti-virus to circle the globe.
