LANDING SPOT FRIDAY MOVIE - TONIGHT'S FEATURE: THE ΩMEGA MAN
Figured I'd throw this old one up again, as according to the media, this plague is going to kill us all. As for myself, if I live through this crap, I'm going to be busy working on my house and yard, along with rewiring semi-trailers for a friend; it's so damn simple I could do it sleeping, but I need the money. I'd like to put up some more on the Constitution and some philosophical stuff, but for the time being I am preoccupied.
Anyway...
THE ΩMEGA MAN is a 1971 American post-apocalyptic science fiction film directed by Boris Sagal and starring Charlton Heston as a survivor of a global pandemic. It was written by John William Corrington and Joyce Corrington, based on the 1954 novel I Am Legend by the American writer Richard Matheson.
In 1975, a Sino-Soviet border conflict escalates into worldwide biological warfare, which kills most of the world's population. U.S. Army Col. Robert Neville, M.D., is a scientist based in Los Angeles. As he begins to succumb to the plague, he injects himself with an experimental vaccine, rendering himself immune.
By 1977, Neville believes he is the plague's only immune survivor. Struggling to maintain his sanity, he spends his days patrolling the now-desolate Los Angeles, hunting and killing members of "The Family", a cult of plague victims who were turned into nocturnal albino mutants. The Family seeks to destroy all technology and kill Neville, who has become a symbol of the science they blame for humanity's downfall. At night, living atop a fortified apartment building equipped with an arsenal of weaponry, Neville is a prisoner in his own home.
