Even its employees are unaware that its enormous profits comes from military technology, of genetic experimentation and viral weapons.

Ont of them, the awful virus "T", has just been stolen by a terrorist in the "Hive" protected laboratories protected, the center of Umbrella experimental research center, hidden several hundred meters deep under the town of Raccoon City. Voluntarily, he releases the virus that propagates at once in the air conduits, not without first carriing the single flasks of anti-virus available. Consequently, in order not to extend the epidemy, the "Red Queen", the Hive's central computer which controls each access, locks any passage towards the outside and kills hundreds of men and women who work there.
