The Omega Man

ActionAdventureDramaSci-FiThriller98 min

After a biological war leaves Los Angeles nearly empty, Charlton Heston is Dr. Robert Neville, kept alive by an experimental vaccine that seems to make him the last uninfected man in the city. He spends his days scavenging silent streets and his nights barricaded against a nocturnal population deformed by the plague and violently hostile to light. Neville’s isolation shifts when he crosses paths with Rosalind Cash’s Lisa, another survivor connected to a small group of children whose survival gives his work a new urgency.
