Omega Man Movie Review 1971

In post-holocaust Los Angeles, Heston is immune to the effects of a biologically engineered plague and battles those who aren't--an army of albino victims bent on destroying what's left of the world. Strong suspense with considerable violence, despite the PG rating. Based on the science fiction thriller "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson, which is also the basis for the film "The Last Man on Earth."
