In the 2002 film Resident Evil, which actress plays the amnesiac heroine Alice?

In the 2002 film Resident Evil, Milla Jovovich plays the amnesiac heroine Alice.

Alice awakens in a mansion with no memory of her identity, then becomes involved in a mission beneath the estate. The underground facility, called the Hive, is operated by the Umbrella Corporation and has been sealed after a deadly biological incident.

Jovovich’s Alice is an original character created for the film series rather than a direct adaptation of one specific video-game protagonist. This sometimes causes confusion because the Resident Evil games feature major characters such as Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, and Leon S. Kennedy.

The film was directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and became the first entry in a film series that continued with Resident Evil: Apocalypse in 2004. Jovovich returned as Alice in every main installment of the live-action film series.
