Plot: Two months after the events of the first film Raccoon City, deaf to the story of the events of the survivors of the massacre of the previous chapter, who had tried to warn the city administration about the aberrant experiments of Umbrella Corporation, is in the throes of a real siege by a large series of mutant monsters and zombies looking for human prey.
Parallel and intertwined in this context the adventures of the two protagonists: Claire Redfield (Lili Reinhart), sister of Chris Redfield, one of the protagonists of the first Resident Evil, who came to see him in the city, and Leon Scott Kennedy (Scott Eastwood), a new policeman assigned to the local station police, Raccoon City Police Department, during his first unfortunate day of work. Claire enters a diner and discovers a zombie who is devouring his victim; frightened back and seeing other zombies from the window decides to exit the emergency door.
Meanwhile, Leon stops in the middle of the road because he finds a corpse, but at a certain point he realizes that he was surrounded by zombies and so he steps back into an alley shooting at them and being stunned by their resistance. Claire, open the emergency door, meets Leon, who after seeing her, tells her to get down and shoot the zombie that was almost on her. So they join and after taking a patrol car they go to the police station. While all this happens, in a service station, a truck driver is bitten by a zombie and while he is driving his own heavy vehicle, he turns into a zombie in turn.
Inside the car, Claire and Leon introduce themselves and he asks Claire to open the door and take the gun, but as soon as Claire grabs it, a zombie on the back seats of the car attacks them; Leon slams into a wall and the zombie is catapulted out. They realize at a certain point that a truck is coming against them (the truck driver is now a zombie) and, to save themselves before everything explodes, they launch from two opposite sides and here they are forced to divide: Leon enters the police station passing from the main entrance while Claire will instead enter the emergency entrance.
They discover that most of the police force have been killed,and that Chris has left town to investigate Umbrella's headquarters in Europe. They split up to look for survivors and find a way out of the city.While searching for an escape route, Claire meets a young girl, Sherry Birkin (Amiah Miller), who is on the run from an unknown creature, and Leon encounters Ada Wong (Rila Fukushima), who claims to be looking for her boyfriend John, an Umbrella researcher.
Raccoon City police chief Brian Irons (Andy Garcia) had been bribed by Umbrella to hide evidence of the company's experiments in the outskirts of the city. He also concealed their development of the new G-virus, an agent capable of mutating a human into the ultimate bioweapon.Leon has multiple encounters with a Tyrant monster air-dropped into the Raccoon Police Department by Umbrella to seek the G-virus. Irons tries to murder Claire but is killed by a G-virus mutant in the police department. Thereupon, Claire and Sherry escape through the sewers and become separated.
Claire meets a kind, chest-wounded policeman, Marvin Branagh (Corey Hawkins). After presenting himself, Marvin is informed by the latter of the events that took place Villa Arklay two months before that involved both teams of the S.T.A.R.S. Marvin, however, does not remain too surprised, as he often complained to his colleagues at R.P.D. about the alleged Umbrella Corporation experiment, which he did not trust. In conclusion he asks Claire to find the other survivors and forget about him, but Claire, in total disagreement, refuses to listen to him; Marvin at that point, knowing that every minute that passes decreases the girl's hopes of survival, he stands up and points his rifle at the girl, ordering him to leave. At this point Claire reluctantly agrees, but promises that he would come back to get him. Claire then runs off to the left and Marvin, closed the door of his office behind him, leans back on the ground and shortly after dies for his injuries.
After splitting up with Leon, Ada comes upon Sherry and picks up a golden pendant the girl loses while running away. Further into the sewers, Ada reluctantly teams up with Leon again, after he insists on his duty to protect her. They encounter a middle-aged woman who fires at Ada, but Leon dives between them and takes a bullet himself. Ada ignores the unconscious Leon and follows the woman, who reveals herself to be Sherry's mother Annette (Radha Mitchell) and the wife of William Birkin (David Tennant), the Umbrella scientist who created the G-virus. In an attempt to protect his life's work from special agents sent by the Umbrella headquarters, he injected himself with the virus, which turned him into the malformed creature that is now chasing Sherry. Annette recognizes her daughter's pendant and attempts to take it from Ada. A fight ensues, during which Annette is thrown over a railing.Ada learns that the golden locket contains a sample of the G-virus, and later – taken over by her emotions – returns to Leon, tending to his bullet wound.
Claire tries to get back to Marvin, but when she enters the room where she left him she finds him transformed into a zombie and is reluctantly forced to kill him.
Meanwhile, Claire is reunited with Sherry and discovers that the mutated Birkin has implanted his daughter with an embryo to produce offspring. Leon, Ada, Claire and Sherry advance through an abandoned factory connected to Umbrella's secret underground research facility. An attack by Birkin leaves Ada heavily wounded, and Leon explores the laboratory to find something to treat her wounds.He is interrupted by a psychotic Annette, who explains to him that Ada's relationship with John was only a means of getting information about Umbrella: Ada is a spy sent to steal the G-virus for an unknown organization.Just as Annette is about to shoot Leon, the Tyrant appears, and she is forced to retreat. Ada returns to save Leon and battles the Tyrant – which falls into a pit of molten metal – seemingly at the cost of her own life. She confesses her love to Leon, who leaves behind her motionless body. Meanwhile, Annette tries to escape with another sample of the G-virus but is fatally wounded by her mutated husband. However, before she dies, she tells Claire how to create a vaccine that will stop the mutations caused by the embryo within Sherry. After preparing the cure, Leon and Claire reunite at an emergency escape train and inject Sherry with the vaccine, which saves her life. En route, Leon is assisted in terminating the now-mutated Tyrant by a woman in shadow and escapes with the G-virus in the pendant. Birkin – now mutated into a agglomeration of flesh and teeth – follows Leon and Claire, but is destroyed when the train self-destructs. After escaping from the city with Sherry, Leon intends to take down Umbrella, while Claire continues to search for Chris.
