Short description

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.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film was intended to be shot in color and 3D, but a last-minute budget cut resulted in it being filmed in black and white.
  • Filming took place in Los Angeles and California.
  • When the film was first released in Sweden, it was mistakenly titled “Spindlarna” ("Spiders").
  • The microphone's shadow can be seen on the wall in the room where Dr. Harold Medford asks doctors to meet with a little girl.
  • When the film was first released in Sweden, it had the incorrect title “Spindlarna” (“Spiders”).
  • When the film was first released in Sweden, it had the mistaken title "Spindlarna" ("The Spiders").
