Plot summary

At the end of the first movie, Umbrella sent in a biohazard team to re-open The Hive, a top secret research facility developed by the Umbrella Corporation containing its biological research projects, including those for biological weaponry and warfare. The team is quickly overrun by the creatures and zombies contained within, and the carnage reaches the streets of the metropolis of Raccoon City 13 hours later, forcing Umbrella to quickly evacuate their important personnel and families. During this evacuation Angela Ashford, daughter of prominent Umbrella scientist Dr. Charles Ashford, is involved in a car crash, leaving her stranded in the city.

After receiving calls sent out by the Raccoon City Police Department for off duty police members to report to duty. Ex-S.T.A.R.S. agent Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory) heads to the Raccoon City Police Department to collect a few of her things and dispatch some advice to her fellow colleagues. The station is swarming with zombies who have been arrested for attacking people (the police haven't realized that the wretches are already dead). Here we meet L.J, who is handcuffed to a wooden bench next to a zombie and about to be bitten. Jill saves him with a well-placed headshot to the zombie.

Umbrella sets up a containment zone around the city, screening people for contamination before they are allowed to leave. When the infection reaches the screening point, Umbrella executive Major Timothy Cain issues the order to shut the gates and orders all remaining inhabitants back into the city at gun point, including Jill and some of their own staff that were screening inside the gates.

Alice, the amnesiac heroine and former Umbrella Security Operative, wakes up inside an Umbrella controlled experimental lab within the deserted Raccoon City hospital. She quickly proceeds to the streets of Raccoon City to find the place essentially deserted with signs of mayhem everywhere.

Jill teams up with her friend and fellow cop Peyton Wells and news reporter Terri Morales to try and find another way out. They take refuge in a church where they find themselves at the mercy of a trio of Lickers, large deadly creatures with long tongues fresh out of The Hive. With the group running low on ammo, Alice breaks through a window on a motorcycle and quickly dispatches them with the aid of her motorcycle and guns.

Dr. Ashford, who realizes his daughter may be trapped and not dead, remains on the camp outside Raccoon City with some of the containment staff where he tracks down his daughter's signal to her school. He then uses the cameras within the city to track down survivors and offers Alice and her team a way out providing they can get his daughter out safely. Ashford reveals that Umbrella is now preparing to sanitise the city by bombing it with a nuclear device in order to prevent further contamination and that they have time until sunrise.

Carlos Oliveria (Oded Fehr), a hired-gun for Umbrella, finds himself and his team abandoned by Umbrella deep inside Raccoon City where their numbers are gradually reduced by the hordes of undead advancing upon them. Carlos, Nicholai and Yuri spot an Umbrella helicopter and follow it only to see it make a drop. Upon getting to the drop they find the boxes now empty. Offscreen, they also get a call from Ashford with the same deal as Alice's team.

We find L.J, unable to get out in time and running over various undead, until he is distracted by zombie hookers and crashes his car. Now he is out on the streets. He stumbles upon a mall where the remaining members of Raccoon City's S.T.A.R.S. are holed up. A sniper kills a zombie that was just about to attack him. Inside, L.J. shows off his gold plated guns and within a few minutes the S.T.A.R.S. are scrambling to fight off a huge bio-weapon named Nemesis. We cut back to Umbrella who issue Nemesis and freshly kitted out from the helicopter drop, with the order to kill all S.T.A.R.S. members which he promptly does. L.J, who is not a S.T.A.R.S. member and is not considered a threat, is subsequently spared.
