Overview of the film's events:
Five years have passed since the global pandemic caused by T Virus. Alice arrives in Tokyo to attack and destroy the underground fortress of Umbrella Corporation.
She arrives at the cost of her clones and prepares to kill Albert Wesker in a helicopter but the man injects a serum destroying all the powers that she had acquired. The helicopter crashes into a mountain and Alice survives, but apparently not Wesker.
Six months later, on a plane, Alice leaves for Arcadia, a city where her friends Claire Redfield and K-mart would have gone. There are only one airstrip and no trace of survivors. Alice finds Claire anyway, but the latter has lost the memory.
The two women fly to Los Angeles and discover that a building that served as a prison shelters a group of survivors. Alice and Claire meet and meet Luther, Bennett, Crystal, Kim Young, Angel Ortiz, Wendell and, contrary to expectations, Claire's brother, Chris Redfield.
Alice learns that Arcadia is actually a freighter mooring in the ocean a stone's throw from the city. But the plane of Alice contains only two places...
A plan is set up while a huge zombie armed with an ax begins to smash the door into the prison yard. Claire and Luther start blocking the door and according to Chris, an armored vehicle is in a locked room that Bennett, Kim Young, and Angel are dealing with.
As for armaments, a submerged part of the prison contains many weapons. Alice, Chris, and Crystal go into the water but after resurfacing, Crystal gets killed by zombies. Alice and Chris flee through the aeration ducts.
Finding that the armored vehicle will not work, Bennett kills Angel and plans to run away with Alice's plane, which he does by leaving his companions. The zombie with the ax breaks the door of the prison and the crowd of zombies enters the building.
Stuck on the roof, Alice, Claire, Chris, Luther and Kim Young manage to descend by the elevator. The group fled by underground tunnels dug by the zombies. Alice and Claire manage to defeat the axe-wielding giant zombie and enter the underground sewers.
The group arrives on the freighter which is deserted. The three friends discover hundreds of survivors in tubes including K-mart, who wore the same device that erased the memory of Claire. Deeper into the cargo ship, Alice finds Wesker, who had survived the crash by injecting the T Virus.
Bennett also managed to land on the freighter and is now Wesker's accomplice. A fight ensues, during which Alice kills zombie dogs, Claire and Chris are locked in tubes and finally, Alice triumphs over Wesker with the help of K-mart.
But Wesker is not really dead, he kills Bennett before escaping by helicopter but Alice had put a bomb in the helicopter, which explodes. Alice sends a radio message to anyone who can hear her and join her.
The situation seems calmed but suddenly the sky is overrun with a multitude of Umbrella Corporation helicopters that will attack the freighter with the survivors.
