Synopsis
The following synopsis is an extract from a PlayStation Magazine article from 1998 titled "Resident Evil: The Movie".

"It all starts off with a disturbance in the Raccoon Forest, where strange animals are mutilating campers and park rangers. A S.W.A.T team is sent in and is quickly destroyed by the mysterious creatures in the forest.  At this point,  the government gets involved.  It recruits Wesker (who is in an asylum for some reason that is never explained) to break into a lab in the forest,  presumably to rescue some scientists there.  Wesker recruits his team members based on the specialties:  Barry Barton is the all around military expert who has retired and now runs a restaurant,  Chris Redfield is the expert at combat, Jill Valentine is a munition expert,  and Brad Vickers is the medic.  Unknown to the rest of the team, however,  is that Brad is actually an imposter named Mike-- he is trying to find his girlfriend Becky,  who was on the original S.W.A.T team sent into Raccoon Forest.

The team sets down in Raccoon forest and is almost immediately attacked by wild mutated dogs. They make a run for the lab.mansion in the middle of the forest and just barely make it there alive. They all get inside of the mansion, and that;s where things really heat up. They confront more of the dogs, along with giant wasps, tarantulas, and of course, zombies. It's all-out tension and action as the group keeps losing members to each new threat, and ammo runs lower and lower. Eventually they find the scientist they are supposed to rescue, and it turns out that the whole situation was an insiduous trap. They were to be infected with the T-virus and then allowed to escape to spread the virus to the rest of the world. Jill and Chris (the only ones left) get a hold of the antidote and escape from the building just as it is exploding, only to be persued by the tyrant (who actually turns out to be a mutated Wesker). They finally fight off the Tyrant, take the antidote,  and walk off into the sunset."
