Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could
not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and
man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in
what is left of New York City and maybe 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. Mutant
victims of the plague—The Infected—lurk in the shadows…watching
Neville’s every move…waiting for him to make a fatal mistake.
Perhaps mankind’s last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one
remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus
using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered…and
quickly running out of time.
