Alice awakens in a deserted Raccoon City during the initial T-Virus outbreak and must team up with STARS officer Jill Valentine to escape before a nuclear strike obliterates the city.

The Resident Evil franchise has had a lasting impact on popular culture, inspiring countless other horror and action films. The series' blend of sci-fi, horror, and action elements has influenced everything from The Walking Dead to The Hunger Games.

In 2010, Anderson returned to direct Resident Evil: Afterlife, a 3D action film that saw Alice facing off against a new threat in the form of the T-virus-infected. The film was a commercial success, grossing over $296 million worldwide, and marked a turning point for the franchise.
