“Resident Evil: Apocalypse” (2004) is a science fiction action horror film directed by Alexander Witt and is the second installment in the “Resident Evil” film series, which is inspired by the popular video game franchise of the same name.

The film stars Milla Jovovich as Alice, Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine, Oded Fehr as Carlos Oliveira, Mike Epps as L.J., Thomas Kretschmann as Major Cain, and Razaaq Adoti as Nicholai Ginovaef.

“Resident Evil: Apocalypse” picks up where the first film, “Resident Evil” (2002), left off. Following the outbreak of a deadly T-virus created by the Umbrella Corporation, the virus has spread beyond the confines of the underground facility known as the Hive, leading to a citywide apocalypse in Raccoon City. The virus turns people into zombies and unleashes a host of monstrous creatures.

Alice, who was a key figure in the first film, finds herself in the midst of the chaos as she battles zombies and other bioweapons unleashed by Umbrella. She encounters Jill Valentine, a former Raccoon City police officer, and Carlos Oliveira, a member of the Umbrella Corporation’s Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S), who have survived the initial outbreak. They join forces to navigate the devastated city and uncover Umbrella’s plans.

The film’s plot involves a high-stakes mission to rescue a young girl named Angela Ashford (Sophie Vavasseur), who is the daughter of a high-ranking Umbrella scientist. Angela holds the key to a potential cure for the virus, making her a crucial target for both the survivors and Umbrella’s forces.

“Resident Evil: Apocalypse” combines intense action sequences, horror elements, and visual effects to create a thrilling continuation of the story. It is known for its fast-paced narrative and action-packed scenes, including encounters with iconic creatures from the Resident Evil video games, such as the Nemesis. The film expands the scope of the series while continuing to explore the dire consequences of the T-virus outbreak.
