Synopsis:
Dr. Horace “Len” Lennart (Kal Weber), a young scientist in Los Angeles, is dispatched with his colleague Bill (Tom Wopat) to wipe out a threat in the jungles. Days earlier, a mass of flesh-eating Army ants attacked and killed hundreds of workers in a mine. Len fears that the ants have developed a kind of “hive mind” as witnessed by the perfect O-shaped crop circles the creatures created. Their mass intelligence makes them far more formidable than anyone previously believed. When an even stronger swarm is reported, Len’s ex-girlfriend Claire Dubois (Elizabeth Healy), a highly ethical entomologist arrives as an observer. 200 millions Army ants are moving as one giant mass through the jungles, devouring every thing in its path. In the midst of the rescue mission, they are led to an isolated cave complex. The bizarre intention and origins of the crawling killers is made astonishingly clear by the Queen of the Hive Mind.
