No, oh god No! Not the movie! Not the MOVIE! Please, please . . . don't . . . Don't . . . Or, I'll kill your favorite pet/friend, just to stop you. Don't.
The movie is about Robert Nevel, a bio-chemist and coronel of the US Military. He is in Manhattan trying to find a cure for the one-time cure for cancer. You see, this cancer-cure has mutated! It's like AIDS, but good, at first. Now it's like AIDS, but reanimatingly . . . y. It kills you. Then you become this face-stretching high-pitched screeching beat-your-head against cars monster that falls in love for one of your own kind . . . Who Nev' kidnaps for his own sick and twisted medical experiements. Oh, so many lost for that possible cure the semi-last survivor of mankind has sacrificed in an attempt to cure the "infected."
You see, Nev' has a fear of loss. His child and wife died in a helicoptor crash (he should of been on said helicoptor, but refused) early on in the movie.
So, um. God Lady and Silent Kid come, resucing Nev' after his dog dies (his only friend).
Then Nev' finds the cure.
The creatures attack that night, having followed God Lady, Silent Kid, and Injured Nev' home . . .
But, when they (God Lady and co. not the zombies) take refuge in the basement lab . . . Egad, the previously infected chicka is cured! So, naturally, having completed his work, Nev' puts God Lady and Silent Kid in the old furnace, telling them not to "Come out untill Day" then blows himself up with a gernade.
Then God Lady and Silent Kid go to Conneticuit, to live among the survivor colony God Lady saw in a vision!
In the End, Nev' became a Legend because he cured the disease then uselessly killed himself (as all those who greive eventually do).
Go, read the book. Do not foresake yourself as I have with his movie, that Fallout 3's plot is based off of.
