Storyline
Resident Evil 4 begins with the journey of Leon S. Kennedy, a former Raccoon City police officer turned US government agent. He is tasked with rescuing Ashley Graham, the daughter of the President of the United States, who has been kidnapped and taken to a remote village in Spain. Upon arriving, Leon quickly realizes that the villagers are not ordinary humans—they have been infected by a mysterious parasite called "Las Plagas," controlled by a fanatical cult called Los Illuminados. In his quest to rescue Ashley, Leon must survive attacks from the infected, monster-like inhabitants.
Along the way, Leon meets several important figures, such as Ada Wong, a mysterious agent with personal goals, and Luis Sera, a scientist who was once involved in the Las Plagas experiments. The story unfolds with numerous plot twists, including betrayal, the lingering secrets of the Umbrella organization, and the cult leaders' deranged plan to spread the parasite worldwide. With horror, fast-paced action, and strategic survival, Resident Evil 4 delivers a gripping experience from start to finish.
