I Am Legend is officially rated PG-13. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 13+.

The last human survivor in New York City hunts for a cure to a virus that has turned most of humanity into nocturnal, monstrous mutants. Will Smith alone for most of the film's runtime. The PG-13 rating covers creature violence and a deeply affecting sequence involving a dog.

None.

Creature attacks — the infected are fast and savage. A dog infected — the film's most emotionally devastating sequence. Sustained creature threat consistent with PG-13.

Moderate language consistent with PG-13.

None.

The loneliness of being the last of your kind. Robert's daily routine as psychological survival. The dog sequence is one of cinema's most affecting human-animal bonds — its ending will devastate viewers. A man's scientific mission as the last meaningful act…

I Am Legend runs 101 minutes, directed by Francis Lawrence, released in 2007.
