Plot Summary

The world has been ravaged by the virus that turned most of humanity into bloodthirsty mutants, leaving Robert Neville (Will Smith) as one of the last survivors. With the cure he once believed he had discovered now being shared to the world, peace seems possible. However, peace is fleeting.

A decade after the events of the original I Am Legend, Neville has become a symbol of survival and humanity’s potential for recovery. But a new, more deadly mutation of the virus begins spreading, targeting the survivors who are left in isolated enclaves. As Neville’s son, Michael (Michael B. Jordan), a gifted scientist and former soldier, returns to New York to find his father, they uncover a chilling truth: the mutants are evolving into a smarter, deadlier species, capable of organizing and striking back.

As their community is threatened, Neville and Michael must work with a team of survivors, including Dr. Evelyn Carr (Janelle Monáe), a scientist who has dedicated her life to creating a permanent cure, and Sarah Westbrook (Rebecca Ferguson), a former soldier with the strength to protect them all. They must face not only the terrifying mutated creatures but also a ruthless military force led by Colonel Grant (Mahershala Ali), who believes that humanity’s last hope lies in a more brutal solution.

With time running out and the new breed of mutants hunting them relentlessly, Neville, Michael, and their team must decide whether to fight to save humanity or let the world finally fall into ruin.
