Resident Evil: Vendetta

Resident Evil: Vendetta follows BSAA captain Chris Redfield, who hunts arms dealer Glenn Arias after a mission ends in a bloody trap. Arias uses a virus that sleeps inside people and can be turned on to make New York citizens attack on command. Chris joins the tired agent Leon S. Kennedy and Professor Rebecca Chambers, who studies the virus and tries to make a cure. The film moves from a haunted mansion in Mexico to Colorado and New York, mixing zombie horror with loud, fast action.

Rebecca holds a serious science job and helps create the cure, while Nadia serves as a skilled sniper in Chris’s team. Their work helps the heroes understand the virus and stop the outbreak. The film gives most of its hero moments to Chris and Leon, and Rebecca becomes a captive who needs their rescue. Its main themes are revenge, grief, bioterror, guilt, and the need for two damaged heroes to work together.
