The Omega Man

About this movie

Welcome to the future. Biological war has decimated life on Earth. Los Angeles is a windswept ghost town where Robert Neville tools his convertible through sunlit streets foraging for supplies. And makes damn sure he gets undercover before sundown, when other "inhabitants" emerge. The Omega Man adapts Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend into a high-impact, high-tension saga of a fate not far removed from reality. Charlton Heston is Neville, fending off attacks by The Family, sinister neopeople spawned by the plague. He also becomes a man with a mission after meeting Lisa (Rosalind Cash), another unifected survivor - and guardian of some healthy children representing our species' hope.

Ratings and reviews

No. . . . You are listening anyways. WIthin proper WGU protocols. PS: Humor: Nothing Swifter than a Swift Truck. Because they have governors on the throttles, and regulators on the Jake Brakes.

This is based from THE book "Omega Man". It is way better than the short story "I Am Legend". This is a very good movie... especially for the times we live in.

The print doesn't hold up well on HD equipment but watchable. The film itself, campy. A movie for it's time. I enjoyed it.
