The first film is arguably the "smartest" of the bunch. Set almost entirely in —an underground genetic research facility owned by the Umbrella Corporation—the movie is lean, mean, and claustrophobic.
We meet (Milla Jovovich), who wakes up in a shower with amnesia. She joins a commando team (led by the underrated Colin Salmon) and the fake-out hero Spence (James Purefoy) to contain the Red Queen—a homicidal A.I. child who has locked down the facility to prevent the T-Virus from escaping.
