Due to an experimental vaccine| Dr. Robert Neville is the only survivor of an apocalyptic war waged with biological weapons. The plague caused by the war has killed
everyone else except for a few hundred deformed| nocturnal people calling themselves "The Family". The plague has caused them to become sensitive to light| as well
as homicidally psychotic. They believe science and technology to be the cause of the war and their punishment| and Neville| as the last symbol of science| the old
world| and a "user of the wheel"| must die. Neville| using electricity| machinery| and science attempts to hold them at bay.
It may not live up to its classic source material, but The Omega Man transcends its limitations often enough to offer some mildly entertaining post-apocalyptic thrills.
