Resident Evil: Apocalypse is a Canadian-British 2004 science fiction action horror film directed by Alexander Witt, from a screenplay written by producer Paul W.S. Anderson. It is the second installment in the Resident Evil film series, which is based on the Capcom survival horror series Resident Evil. Borrowing elements from the video games Resident Evil 2, 3: Nemesis, and Code: Veronica, Resident Evil: Apocalypse follows heroine Alice, who has escaped the underground Umbrella facility, who must band with other survivors including Jill Valentine and escape Raccoon City alive. The film begins... with Alice recalling key events from the first film, Resident Evil. Thirteen hours after the initial T-Virus outbreak in The Hive, the Umbrella Corporation sends in a research team to re-open the complex. The team is slaughtered by zombies and Lickers. Since The Hive's entrance is not sealed, Umbrella establishes a security perimeter around Raccoon City to keep citizens in a quarantined area safe. After surviving The Hive, Alice was recovered by Umbrella and was experimented on.
