Synopsis:
Hiding in the Nevada desert, Alice (Jovovich), Carlos Oliver (Fehr) and L.J. (Epps) join forces with new survivors of the Raccoon City disaster – Nurse Betty (Ashanti), K-Mart (Spencer Locke) and Claire Redfield (Larter) – to create a formidable force ready to defeat flesh-hungry zombies and save Earth before time runs out. Trekking though the desert and ruins of Las Vegas, the group must elude the sinister minds of the Umbrella Corporation, who are tracking their every move from the corporation’s sleek research facilities below the very ground Alice and her team are traversing.
With hordes of zombies, killer crows and gruesomely-mutated creatures in their path, the survivors are up against menacing odds. And Alice having been subjected to a biogenic experimentation has become genetically altered with super-human strengths, now must employ these skills as never before to ensure that the last of the human race survives.
