The movie takes place in a post-apocalyptic New York City, where a mutated strain of the measles virus has turned most of the world's population into aggressive, vampire-like creatures. Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the only human survivor, who spends his days scavenging for food and supplies, and his nights protecting himself from the infected. He keeps himself company by playing records, talking to himself, and hunting for deer in the park.
Released in 2007, I Am Legend stands as one of the most commercially successful entries in the modern post-apocalyptic genre. Based on Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel of the same name, the film follows Dr. Robert Neville (Will Smith), a virologist who believes he is the last human survivor in New York City following a catastrophic viral outbreak. The film is notable for its atmospheric depiction of urban decay, its singular focus on a protagonist’s psychological deterioration, and its modernization of the "undead" archetype. For global audiences, the film’s accessibility was amplified through high-definition home releases and widespread dubbing in languages such as Hindi, broadening its reach beyond English-speaking markets. i am legend 2007 hindi dubbed 108 full
