Resident Evil plot recap, spoiler-light
Resident Evil opens on a winter night as courier Bryan Hodukavich drives toward Raccoon City General Hospital carrying an urgent delivery. Distracted by an argument on the phone with his pregnant girlfriend Michelle, Bryan strikes a pedestrian. A routine traffic stop by Deputy Sheriff Wilson quickly escalates into disaster when Wilson's cruiser crashes and the injured woman exhibits monstrous hostility.
After defending himself, Bryan treks across a desolate countryside overrun with nightmarish organisms. Along the way, he sustains a bite from an infected child trapped in an RV. Rescued by Umbrella staff members Paul and Maxine, Bryan learns his cargo is a vital stabilizer necessary for concocting a remedy against an escaping evolutionary agent.
After his escorts are eliminated in town, Bryan continues through dangerous subterranean sewers and city streets toward the hospital. Haunted by his worsening bite, he records a final message to Michelle, fully aware his window of human consciousness is shutting fast.
