As a result of nuclear testing, gigantic, ferocious mutant ants appear in the American desert southwest, and a father-daughter team of entomologists join forces with the state police officer who first discovers their existence, an FBI agent and, eventually, the US Army to eradicate the menace, before it spreads across the continent — and the world.

me when someone asks what my pronouns are:

an honestly very poignant and heartbreaking film about, yes, giant ants. man's neverending search for progress will always lead to its downfall. transitions smoothly from weird mystery with genuinely creepy scenes to government coverup to full on martial law. average day in la. this is my greatest fear to be completely honest (i am terrified of ants)

highlights:- three (3) wilhelm screams- giant ant with HUMAN RIBCAGE in its mandibles
