The story is a post-apocolypse US city being plagued every night by albino mutants, while Charlton Heston seeks sanctury in his penthouse fortress.
It's kind of funny that you refer to this as "the original" while mentioning in the same breath that it's in fact a remake.

Anyway, it's a good movie, as are the other two versions of the story. I've always found it very interesting how differently each film handed the "zombies". In Omega Man they definitely are the least zombie-like of the three films, more like cult members.
