Synopsis
The Omega Man (1971) is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller with Charlton Heston you can watch online on iFILM. A bacteriological war has wiped out humanity, and Army colonel Robert Neville believes he is the last healthy man left in a dead Los Angeles.
By day the city belongs to him. He drives empty freeways, loots whatever he likes, and barricades himself inside a fortified penthouse before sunset. After dark the others come out: plague survivors turned into light-hating zealots who call themselves the Family. Their leader Matthias (Anthony Zerbe) sees Neville as the last relic of the old world and wants him gone. Then Neville meets Lisa (Rosalind Cash) and a small group of people still untouched by the disease, and everything he assumed about being alone falls apart.
Directed by Boris Sagal, this is the second screen version of Richard Matheson's novel I Am Legend, made decades before the Will Smith remake. Neville's blood might hold a cure, and that single chance decides whether anyone has a future at all. Stream The Omega Man (1971) online on iFILM.
