	'''''The Omega Man''''' is a 1971 science fiction thriller based on the novel "I Am Legend" written by Richard Matheson. This was actually the second feature film adaptation of the novel, the first being the 1964 film ''[[The Last Man on Earth]]''. In the 1971 adaptation, [[Charlton Heston]] stars as Col. Robert Neville, who unexpectedly becomes the last human on earth devastated by a deadly virus. The novel would later be adapted again for the screen in 2007's ''[[I Am Legend]]'', which used some of the elements added to this film. ''The Omega Man'' is considered by some to be part of [[Charlton Heston]]'s unofficial trilogy of post apocalyptic films which included ''[[Planet of the Apes (1968)]]'' and ''[[Soylent Green]]''.
