The Omega Man (1971)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 98m
Director: Boris Sagal
Cast: Charlton Heston, Rosalind Cash, Anthony Zerbe
Synopsis:
After biological warfare has obliterated normal human life, one man, whose blood is mysteriously immune, stands alone in a city of shades, deformed survivors whose culture proscribes technology and men of science like him.
Review:
The alpha and omega who could save the human race, if only they would listen, is a nice religious allegory for this science-fiction dystopian tale, which also manages to posit him as a dope smoking representative of the N.R.A. Well, that's the 1970s for you, and this is all a bit untidy, but it moves fast enough and was the kind of role Heston had made his own. (Remade as I Am Legend)
