This is the premise of the film adaptation of I am Legend; > The story is set in New York City after a virus, which was originally created to cure cancer, has wiped out most of mankind, leaving Neville as the last human in New York, other than nocturnal mutants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Legend_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Legend_(film) Mostly, Just Another Generic Zombie Film, though.

  The alternative ending to the film significantly improves it. You can easily find it online. (I'm not going to spoil it.)

The book is superior in every way. The Omega Man is also a much better film adaptation than the Will Smith effort. Killer soundtrack too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Omega_Man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Omega_Man

"Horrible virus used to cure xxx disease ends up destroying humanity" is becoming a common trope in fiction. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Passage, etc. Fiction hasn't been accurate at predicting good things in the future, but it sure has been spot on when predicting the bad stuff. It feels like we're living in one of those frustrating horror films where the protagonists ignore obvious warning signs and put themselves in the worst possible situations.
