This is the Second Remake of the original movie "The Last Man" with Vincent Price. The previous remake was called "The Omega Man" with Charelton Heston. "I am Legend" was a line taken from "The Last Man".
Literally the Last man on Earth is Robert Neavil, the only surviving member of the human race ammune to a pleague that either kills you or turns you into a rabid vampire like creature. The undead zombies in this version of the remake make the other zombies look like they came from Sesame Street. Unlike the Omega man, which was caused by a bacterialogical war. In this version someone finds a cure for cancer by genetically engineering a measles virus into cancer fighting virus. Oops, this virus mutates and turns into something else and whipes out the human race.
It is starting look like "The Last Man" = "The Omega Man" = "I am Legend" are trying to use current political arguements as the basis for the story line.
