A 1970s disaster spectacle built on spectacle and paranoia, where an unstoppable natural threat forces unlikely allies into survival mode across escalating catastrophes.

Scientist Dr. Bradford Crane and army general Thalius Slater join forces to fight an almost invisible enemy threatening America; killer bees that have deadly venom and attack without reason. Disaster movie-master Irwin Allen's film contains spectacular special effects, including a train crash caused by the eponymous swarm.
