I Am Legend is a Sci-Fi film loosely based on a novel I Am Legend released in 1954. However this movie was released in 2007 and is a lot different. The film follows Robert Neville taking place in 2012, (Will Smith) the last man in New York City. Three years earlier in fall of 2009 a scientist developed a new cure for cancer that had a 100% success rate. People believed cancer was officially cured which it was but had no idea what was about to happen. The cure turned into a lethal drug that killed over 5.4 billion people worldwide. The rest 600 million people became infected and turned into pale, bald, aggressive beings that hunt down none infected beings almost like a zombie. These things are called darkseekers due to there skin which cant tolerate the suns UV rays. Robert Neville (the protagonist of the story) desperately works day in, and day out on finding a cure for this virus. In his basement he has a laboratory designed to help him find a cure for the infection. Everyday he broadcast on his radio instructing survivors to meet him at mid day at South Street Seaport. I Am Legend is a excellent film that everyone should see and stands among the top 100 all time highest grossing (gross- revenue is amount of money made) films both domestic and internationally.
