I Am Legend is a 2007 American post-apocalyptic action thriller film loosely based on the 1954 novel of the same name by Richard Matheson.

Directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman and Mark Protosevich, the film stars Will Smith as US Army virologist Robert Neville.

It is set in New York City after a virus, which was originally created to cure cancer, has wiped out most of mankind, leaving Neville as the last human in New York, other than nocturnal mutants.

Neville is immune to the virus, and he works to develop a cure while defending himself against the hostile mutants. It is the third feature-film adaptation of Matheson’s novel following 1964’s The Last Man on Earth and 1971’s The Omega Man.

“I Am Legend 2” continues the story from the 2007 film “I Am Legend.” The sequel is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a virus has devastated humanity. In this installment, the focus shifts to a new protagonist, who, like Robert Neville from the first film, is struggling to survive in a world overrun by mutated creatures. The plot explores the efforts of the new lead character to find a cure for the virus and rebuild society, while facing numerous challenges and threats from the infected population. The film delves into themes of survival, hope, and the quest for redemption amidst the ruins of civilization.
