I Am Legend
dir. Francis Lawrence · 2007
Robert Neville wanders the empty streets of New York City, a ghost in a world ravaged by a man-made virus. As he grapples with the weight of his solitude and the lurking threat of the Infected, the film immerses viewers in a haunting exploration of survival and the human spirit.
Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made in this post-apocalyptic action thriller. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague - the Infected - lurk in the shadows - watching Neville's every move - waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered - and quickly running out of time.
