Resident Evil is a science fiction horror film directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, based on the popular video game series of the same name. The film marks the beginning of a franchise that would go on to include multiple sequels and spin-offs.

Set in a secret underground facility known as The Hive, the story follows a team of commandos led by Alice (Milla Jovovich), who suffers from amnesia. The facility has been compromised due to a viral outbreak caused by the Umbrella Corporation, a powerful pharmaceutical company conducting unethical experiments on a deadly virus known as the T-Virus. This virus turns humans into terrifying zombie-like creatures and mutates other living beings into deadly monsters.

As Alice and her team venture into The Hive to investigate the outbreak and contain the situation, they face various threats, including zombies, mutated creatures, and the AI security system named Red Queen, which has gone rogue. The film combines elements of action, horror, and suspense, showcasing intense action sequences and a variety of horrifying creatures.

Resident Evil is known for its stylish visuals and adrenaline-pumping action, successfully capturing the essence of the video game while introducing original characters and storylines. Milla Jovovich’s performance as Alice, a strong and resourceful protagonist, helped define her as an iconic character in the horror genre.

The film’s success led to several sequels, expanding the universe and further exploring the themes of survival, corporate greed, and the consequences of scientific experimentation.
