    Default Look for movie from being a kid

    Remember growing up and saturday night you would stay up late with a parent and watch a movie on TV with them? This is one of these movies. We were talking about it on the weekend and I have googled everything I can think of and cant find it. I dont think it was very good LOL.

    This is what I remember:

    Guy woke up to an alarm clock with static, the street was empty and he quickly found out everyone in the world had disappeared. At some point he found other people and it turned out they were all taking the same medication which was super rare and it made them all stick around. I think it ended with them blowing up a generating station or something like that.

    Anyone have any clue what I am talking about? I dont think there was anyone famous in it, it probably wasnt good as it was on late night tv, and I am pretty sure it was from the early 80s or 70's.

    The Omega Man opens with Charlton Heston tooling around NYC in a bog red Ford convertible. It was re-made into "I Am Legend".
    I have it on my computer.

    Charlton Heston was reading that book on a plane and it inspired him to have the film made.
