SYNOPSIS
A more "modern" take on Mathesons I Am Legend, this movie stars
Charlton Heston as Robert Neville, an army scientist working on finding a cure for a biological
weapon that is killing everyone on earth. Although he finds the cure, he is too late to
save anyone except himself.
Now the "survivors" of the plague, pasty complexioned nightwalkers who have been driven
insane, are set on his destruction, along with all works of man. They have formed a group called
"The Family", and their mission is to wipe out any hint of technology.
During the day, Neville works on killing these neo-luddites, and at night, he holes up in his
fortress/apartment. Then he meets a group that have not yet been infected!
