Resident Evil: Extinction is a 2007 American science fiction action horror directed by Russell Mulcahy, the third installment. Milla Jovovich returns as Alice, now wandering the wasteland of a post-apocalyptic America where the T-virus has escaped Raccoon City and devastated the entire planet, turning most of humanity into undead.
