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 but love this story, which most people will know as I Am Legend. The fact that it turns into something that I don't like as much towards the end is another matter. But the idea of the last man on earth is great. Charlton Heston was perfect for me in this role and I enjoyed his whole journey. I would have liked it to go differently at the end, but that's kind of Matheson's fault.
