Plot Outline: A deadly virus has been unleashed on the population of Raccoon City. Alice (Milla Jovovich) returns as one of only two survivors of the contained biochemical disaster in the first "Resident Evil." This film begins where the first film left off, with Alice in the heart of a ravaged and deadly Raccoon City. She has been subjected to biogenetic experimentation by the Umbrella Corporation and genetically altered to have super-human strength, senses and dexterity. Alice is joined by survivors of Umbrella Corp’s elite Special Tactics and Rescue Services (S.T.A.R.S.) including Jill Valentine (Guillory), Terri Morales (Holt), Carlos Oliviera (Fehr), L.J. (Epps), and Nicholai (Ward).

They will need to battle their way through a relentless onslaught of undead, as well as Umbrella forces and terrifying bioengineered weapons. The most deadly threat of which is the colossal, heavily armed assassin, code named Nemesis. Nemesis is the resulting mutation of Matt Addison into an unstoppable creature. It will stop at nothing until everything is dead, but it also has another agenda.
