I Am Legend is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi film starring Will Smith. Smith plays Dr. Robert Neville, a scientist in search of a cure for an infectious zombie disease, that has wiped out most of the human race.

In the year 2012, in New York City, U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Robert Neville (played by Will Smith) survives a virus outbreak and remains one of the last humans left alive. He is naturally immune to the virus. Three years earlier, the virus, known as KV, was created to fight cancer, but somehow turned into a lethal and deadly plague that could wipe out the planet. In some cases, the KV virus mutated infected humans into creatures who would come out at night to attack and feast on survivors. During the daytime these infected individuals hid in dark places to avoid the sun. Neville remains the only non-infected human in New York, where he captures the infected Zombies, to experiment on them, with the hope of discovering a cure.
