Synopsis
I Am Legend is a 2007 post-apocalyptic science fiction film directed by Francis Lawrence and
starring Will Smith. It is the third feature film adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel of the same name, following 1964's The Last Man on Earth and 1971's The Omega Man.Smith plays virologist Robert Neville, who is immune to a vicious man-made virus originally created to cure cancer. He works to create a cure while living in Manhattan in 2012, a city inhabited by animalistic victims of the virus.
In 2012, US Army virologist Lieutenant Colonel Robert Neville (Will Smith) is left as the last healthy human in New York City and possibly the entire world. A series of flashbacks and recorded news programs reveal that a genetically re-engineered measles virus, created in 2009 as a cure for cancer, mutated into a lethal airborne strain that spread worldwide and killed 90% of those infected. Of the other 10%, only 1% possessed a natural immunity. The remainder degenerated into primal, aggressive beings with a painful intolerance to UV radiation, forcing them to hide in buildings and other dark places during the day. The immune regular humans were hunted, killed by other humans or committed suicide

Neville's daily routine includes experimentation to find a cure for the virus and trips through a Manhattan devoid of humanity to hunt for food and supplies. He also waits each day for a response to his continuous recorded radio broadcasts, which instruct any uninfected survivors to meet him at midday at the South Street Seaport.
That night, the Alpha Male leads a group of infected in an attack on the house, having followed Anna and Neville back the night before. They overrun its defenses and force Neville, Anna, and Ethan to retreat into the basement laboratory. They seal themselves in with the infected woman, where they discover that Neville's treatment is working. Neville draws a vial of the woman's blood and gives it to Anna. He pushes Anna and Ethan into an old coal chute, and then sacrifices himself to save their lives, using a hand grenade to kill himself and the attacking infected.
Anna and Ethan escape to Vermont, and locate the survivors' colony, where Anna hands over the cure. In the closing voice-over, she states that Neville's cure enabled humanity to survive and rebuild, establishing his legend.
