Der Einsatz biologischer Waffen in einem globalen Krieg führt zum Ausbruch einer Seuche, die beinahe die gesamte Menschheit dahin rafft. Die wenigen Überlebenden sind degenerierte, lichtscheue Wesen. Einzig der Biologe Robert Neville konnte sich rechtzeitig mit einem Serum impfen. Er führt nun ein einsames Leben in Los Angeles, bis er eines Tages auf andere Überlebende trifft. (TNT Film)

The beginning of the gradual decline of a once great actor in a serious sci-fi flick that, thanks to shoddy direction, becomes a parody of itself. Heston is only here to run around with his hairy chest bared, while the evil infected inspire terror with their white wigs, white contact lenses and powdered faces. You'll laugh at the awfulness of the script and marvel at the clumsily shot action scenes with clearly visible stunt stand-ins. Even Bert I. Gordon would have made a better film. Send Sagal to the gulag, and Douglas to a mental institution!

I can't help it, but I really like this story that most people will know as "I Am Legend". The fact that it changes into something that I am not as fond of in the end is another thing. But the idea of the last man on earth is brilliant. Charlton Heston perfectly fit into this role and I enjoyed his entire journey. I would have wanted it to end differently, but that's partly Matheson's doing.
