The Last Man On The Earth Full Movie Explained

Rate this post

In the beginning of Film The Last Man On The Earth, we see after a mysterious unnamed virus takes out 
every human being, Philip Miller is the last  

man on earth. He has been living alone for the 
past year and is driving around America to look  

for more people. He goes to every single state, 
making announcements to empty cities and stealing  

artifacts and paintings from museums.
After the failed mission to find humans,  

Philip decides to return to his hometown, Tucson. 
Still, as the last attempt to find someone,  

he writes “Alive in Tucson” on 
every billboard he can find.
 

In Tucson, he goes to his shabby apartment 
and packs up all the necessary stuff before  

making his way to a gated community in the 
more lavish part of the city. He chooses the  

biggest house and declares it his new home.
He spends the next few days decorating the house  

with all the famous paintings, a mat from the 
white house, a dinosaur skull, academy awards, and  

many more artifacts worth billions of dollars.
Every day before going to sleep,  

Philip makes sure to apologize to God for 
masturbating so much and wishes that he  

sees the face of at least one woman before his 
death. Thankfully, there are still a plethora  

of cars that he can use to drive around.
He goes to the grocery store in his underwear  

and breaks in using a gun. In only a year he has 
completely forgotten basic decency now that he has  

no one to impress. He also does everything that 
was just an impulsive thought before the virus,  

like destroying the pile of cans in the store 
and bringing hundreds of adult films home.

To pass time, he plays racquetball with himself, 
uses lamps and aquariums as bowling pins,  

and crashes cars onto each other. The 
chaos makes him feel a hint of adrenaline  

and helps him cope with loneliness.
After about a month, he starts to lose his  

sense of sanity. Moreover, being alone on his 
birthday reminds him of everything he failed to  

appreciate when life was normal. He misses his 
mother, his life, and humans in general.
 

The scene cuts to a few months later. The grand 
mansion Philip lived in has turned into a dumping  

site. It is filled with plastic and cans that he 
never cleans up because there won’t be a meaning  

to it anyway. He hasn’t showered in days and has 
started living like an animal. The house lacks  

running water and the toilet is covered in plastic 
bottles. So instead, Philip makes a hole in the  

springboard and uses the pool as his toilet. He 
also fills a kid’s pool with margaritas and bathes  

in it while simultaneously drinking from it.
Then, one day, he goes to the bar and draws faces  

on balls, assigning them a name and personality. 
He talks to them like they are his real friends  

just to feel like he isn’t lonely. At night, 
he brings a ball named Gary to a clothing store  

and hits on a mannequin that he has a crush on. 
When her arm breaks, Philip loses his mind.
 

He decides that he doesn’t want to live 
anymore and goes to the nearby hill to  

commit the unthinkable. He wishes farewell to 
all his ball friends, promising to remember  

them for eternity. Then, he gets inside his car 
and drives towards the hill at full speed.
 

Suddenly, he sees smoke rising far away and stops 
the car seconds before it crashes. Philip can  

almost not believe his eyes. He immediately 
follows the smoke and reaches a trailer that  

is clearly inhabited by a person. Then, he 
notices something he had been begging to see  

for the past year. Someone has left 
their bra to dry in the sun.
 

Philip smells it and is so overwhelmed that 
he falls unconscious. When he wakes up,  

he sees a beautiful girl holding him in her lap. 
She seductively promises to fulfill his wishes  

and kisses him. Philip is enjoying the kiss before 
he wakes up and realizes he was dreaming. The girl  

in front of him is less attractive and older. She 
is performing CPR on him to bring him back.
 

They pull away from each other weirded 
out on seeing another human after so long.  

Philip asks her where the beautiful woman 
is until she points out he should be worried  

about his wet underpants instead. It turns out 
that he peed himself when he was unconscious.  

Even in a situation like this, Philip claims 
that he was swimming “from the front side”  

earlier which is why his underpants are wet.
He aggressively starts explaining that he did  

not pee himself which makes the 
girl panic. She brings out a gun,  

asking him to stay away. Philip finally admits 
that he did in fact pee and is embarrassed.
 

After both of them calm down, they introduce 
themselves. The girl’s name is Carol.  

She used to be an analyst before the virus and has 
been wandering around America after everyone died.  

She saw the “Alive in Tucson” sign and came here 
to see if she really is the last person alive.
 

Although Philip had been dying to meet a 
woman, he isn’t very excited to see Carol.  

She repeatedly corrects his grammar, 
doesn’t understand his jokes,  

and keeps talking about irrelevant things.
After talking for a while, they decide to drive  

to the grocery store. On the way, Carol complains 
about him crossing the stop sign. Despite Philip  

arguing that there is no traffic, she remains 
adamant that they have to follow the rules  

or else they will start living like an animal.
To make her feel better, he stops at a sign and  

looks to both sides, confirming that no one 
is crossing the road. Her nagging doesn’t  

stop when they reach the grocery story 
and Philip parks in the handicap spot.
 

They get into their fifth argument of the day with 
Philip insisting that the imaginary handicapped  

person has a lot of space to park his car. When 
Carol still urges him to park somewhere else,  

he runs the vehicle into the store.
Following that, she goes to take a tour  

of his house and is disgusted by the way he lives. 
He has two swimming pools, one filled with feces  

and the other with garbage. Carol also accuses 
him of stealing the paintings even though he  

argues they didn’t belong to anyone anymore.
By the end of the house tour, Philip asks her  

to go back to her campsite. The next morning, 
he is woken up by Carol cleaning up his house.  

She nags him to get gardening and cleaning 
supplies from the store because they have to  

start living like human beings.
At night, Philip goes to his ball  

buddies and complains about Carol. Even 
though he has only known her for a day,  

he feels like they are a married couple 
who desperately need to get a divorce.
 

The following morning, things get worse for him 
as she moves into the house next door. He tries to  

shoo her away but Carol being Carol is stubborn. 
She asks him if he is scared of being seen naked  

and as a reply, Philip takes off his pants.
Carol finally addresses the elephant in the room  

and brings up the topic of reproduction. She 
thinks they are the chosen ones who have been  

given the duty to repopulate the earth 
again. Philip says that he wouldn’t sleep  

with her even if she was the last woman 
on earth, which is true in this case.
 

In the next scene, he is in his outdoor toilet 
when Carol approaches him. She wants him to find  

a way to get running water to their house. That 
way, they can grow tomatoes and other fruits.  

When he refuses to help, she tries to bribe him 
with fresh tomatoes but he doesn’t care.
 

However, when it gets dark, he breaks into her 
garden and eats all of her vegetables. Carol  

knocks on his door the next morning and finds him 
covered in leftover tomatoes. Philip still claims  

that he isn’t the one who stole them. He also 
notices Carol has hurt her leg while trying to  

transfer water to her house from a manhole.
A few days later, she gives up on trying to live  

like a decent human. Philip finds her making an 
outdoor toilet in a fountain copying his swimming  

pool toilet. Carol thinks that they might not 
be the chosen ones but the forgotten ones who  

have no purpose in life. They are in no way 
capable of creating an entire human civilization  

when they cannot even arrange a toilet 
in their million dollar mansions.
 

Philip, who is used to seeing Carol as an 
optimistic person, feels awful for her. Hence,  

he goes to the city’s water tank and 
arranges a way to water Carol’s garden.
 

She is finally happy to see a good side to 
him and invites him to dinner. At night,  

Philip enjoys an organic meal after a long time. 
The topic of sex is brought up and Philip says he  

is ready to sleep with her now.
However, to his surprise,  

Carol doesn’t want to make love before 
marriage. Initially, Philip laughs,  

thinking that it is a joke but she turns out to 
be serious. Even though the idea is ridiculous,  

he proposes to make her feel better. At last, 
they decide to get married the next day.
 

In the following scene, they are in church 
saying their vows. Philip thinks it isn’t  

necessary but goes with the act anyway.
When they step out of the church,  

they are welcomed by a crowd of guests. Philip 
realizes he has made a mistake and screams.  

Then, he wakes up on his bed, thankful that it was 
only a dream. He even has to check out the window  

to ensure that most of the world is still dead.
A while later, Carol comes to his house with  

food. She thinks they should elect the 
President of the United States by voting.  

It is useless but Philip elects himself and 
becomes the President unanimously. Then, the  

two enjoy spaghetti and raisin balls which Carol 
thinks is a good alternative to meatballs.
 

Following that, the day of the wedding finally 
comes. Carol prepares the decorations and  

cake while Philip is tasked to get rings for 
them. However, instead of getting the rings,  

he throws a bachelorette party for his ball 
buddies, setting fire to random things in  

a parking lot. He even goes to say goodbye 
to the mannequin. Telling her that she will  

always remain the love of his life.
At the end of the day, he goes to the  

church where Carol has prepared a recording that 
will officiate their wedding. After brief vows,  

it is finally the time to exchange rings. This 
is when Carol discovers that he didn’t get them.  

She realizes she is the only one putting 
effort and calls off the wedding.
 

Later, Philip knocks on her door, trying to talk 
to her but she doesn’t reply. Hence, he breaks the  

front door with a hammer and enters the house. To 
his surprise, she has actually put in an effort to  

decorate it. She has even prepared a cake for them 
with his statue on top. Philip feels awful about  

what he did and apologizes to her. He also reveals 
that he doesn’t really like her personality or  

the food she cooks but even so, he is glad that 
she exists because, without her, he would not be  

alive right now. With that being said, Philip 
brings her out to do something special.
 

In the following scene, they go 
to a jewelry shop where Carol gets  

all the rings she wants. They finally officiate 
the wedding and are declared husband and wife.
 

At night, the two make love but the experience is 
not how Philip thought it would be. Carol cannot  

stop talking throughout the night, making strange 
remarks that she thinks are hot. The next morning,  

she finds him playing racquetball in his home. 
Philip thinks she is going to nag him again but  

to his surprise, she joins him in the game.
They enjoy the rest of the day doing things like  

Philip normally does. They make fireproof 
suits and set each other on fire,  

run a bulldozer over beer cans, and go to meet 
Philip’s ex-girlfriend who is a mannequin.
 

Carol talks to her for a while before beating 
her up for “hitting” on her husband. For the  

first time, Philip is glad that he married her 
and thinks that their life might be tolerable.
 

As they are driving back home, they suddenly hit 
a limo on a junction. Shocked, Philip runs to the  

car and sees a beautiful woman come out of it. 
Just when he thought he was happy with his wife,  

he starts to regret their marriage.
This season ends here.
