Man has split the atom and ushered in a new era. But how could he know he would also create THEM? Boasting remarkable, ahead-of-their-time special effects, this science-fiction landmark begins in the New Mexico desert ten years after the nuclear bomb tests. A string of brutal killings lead investigators to a nest of enormous mutant ants who have the ability to destroy all mankind. As the oversized pests spread through the sewer system, it all comes down to an epic battle between man and monster beneath the city of Los Angeles when a horror horde of giants claw their way out of the earth.
