Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo
Terror has 8 legs.
Directed by Stuart Hagmann
Produced by Alan Landsburg Productions
A creature-feature thriller from the 1970s that uses a tarantula invasion as a vehicle for escalating town-wide panic and survival action.
An airplane carrying coffee beans from South America has some unpleasant stowaways: a hoard of tarantulas which overcome the pilots as the airplane is flying over an orange-producing town in California. The airplane crashes, and the unlucky inhabitants of the town release the venomous spiders into their midst. Once the town's officials discover that the tarantulas are responsible for several deaths, the tarantulas have already descended upon the town's only orange-processing factory. The town's citizens risk their lives to remove the tarantulas from the factory while the venomous pests are rendered motionless by the transmitted sound of buzzing bees
