Description: “I Am Legend” (2007) is a gripping tale of survival in a post-apocalyptic world. The story follows Robert Neville, a scientist who becomes the last human survivor in New York City after a man-made, incurable virus devastates the global population. Immune to the virus, Neville spends his days sending out radio messages in hopes of finding other survivors, while also searching for a cure.
The virus, originally engineered as a cure for cancer, mutates into a lethal strain that wipes out 90% of humanity. Nine percent of the population transforms into vampiric, light-sensitive mutants known as Darkseekers, leaving just one percent immune but hunted by the creatures.
By 2012, three years after the outbreak, Neville lives an isolated life in the ruins of Manhattan. His daily routine includes experimenting on infected rats, scavenging for supplies, and broadcasting messages for potential survivors. His only companion is his loyal German Shepherd, Sam. Flashbacks reveal the tragic loss of his wife and daughter during the chaotic evacuation of the city.
As Neville fights to survive, he faces constant threats from the Darkseekers, particularly during his dangerous encounters in abandoned buildings. The story explores themes of loneliness, resilience, and the human drive for survival in a world where he may truly be the last of his kind.
