The last man alive… is not alone! In this tensely thrilling adaptation of Richard Matheson’s classic sci-fi novel I Am Legend, Charlton Heston stars as an army doctor whose experimental vaccine has rendered him immune to the biological warfare that obliterated humanity. He roams the vacant city by day (an eerie, empty downtown Los Angeles) and barricades his home at night, fighting off a horde of mutated, black-robed ghouls and the post-apocalyptic cult leader (Anthony Zerbe) determined to destroy him. But when he discovers an uninfected survivor (Rosalind Cash), it will be a race against time to replicate his cure if there is any hope to save the future.
“An extremely literate science-fiction drama” – Variety
“If I was alone on a desert island I’d probably pick something that I could relate to – probably The Omega Man with Charlton Heston. I don’t know why that is one of my favorite movies, but it is.” – Tim Burton
