The premise

Robert Neville is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone.

Horror Vault's take

Years after a man-made virus decimates humanity, one immune scientist haunts the empty streets of New York City — scavenging by day and barricading himself at night against whatever has inherited the world. Will Smith anchors this post-apocalyptic thriller with a raw, largely solo performance that leans as much on psychological weight as on creature-feature tension. Based on Richard Matheson's landmark novel, the film blends pandemic dread with eerie urban desolation to unsettling effect. Whether salvation or something far worse awaits, Neville's daily radio transmissions remain his fragile thread to a world that may no longer exist.
