Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Here it is folks, what we have all been waiting for! RE5IDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION now has an official synopsis thanks to Screen Gems! Oh by the way, that isn’t a typo in the title, that is the official new name of the film! I guess they are trying to be clever? Looks kind of silly, but whatever works right?

The official synopsis: The wildly successful film franchise adaptation that has grossed nearly $700 million worldwide to the popular video game series, Resident Evil, returns in its highly anticipated fifth installment, RE5IDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION in state-of-the art 3D.

The Umbrella Corporation’s deadly T-virus continues to ravage the Earth, transforming the global population into legions of the flesh eating Undead. The human race’s last and only hope, ALICE (Milla Jovovich), awakens in the heart of Umbrella’s most clandestine operations facility and unveils more of her mysterious past as she delves further into the complex. Without a safe haven, Alice continues to hunt those responsible for the outbreak; a chase that takes her from Tokyo to New York, Washington, D.C. and Moscow, culminating in a mind-blowing revelation that will force her to rethink everything that she once thought to be true. Aided by newfound allies and familiar friends, Alice must fight to survive long enough to escape a hostile world on the brink of oblivion. The countdown has begun.

RE5IDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION stars Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory, Colin Salmon, Shawn Roberts, Michelle Rodriguez (below), Johann Urb, Oded Fehr, Kevin Durand and Li Bingbing. The film will fly on to screens September 14, 2012.
