The Resident Evil film franchise adapts Capcom's popular survival horror video game series into live-action cinema. The series primarily follows Alice, played by Milla Jovovich, as she battles the undead and the sinister Umbrella Corporation across six interconnected films.

This release order includes all seven live-action films, though it's important to note that Welcome to Raccoon City is a standalone reboot with completely different characters and storyline, unconnected to the original Alice saga.
