A mysterious disaster at a military installation in Texas reveals the arrival of a massive swarm of highly aggressive African killer bees. Called in to investigate, entomologist Dr. Bradford Crane soon realizes that the insects pose a catastrophic threat capable of devastating entire cities if left unchecked. As scientists, military leaders and government officials struggle to stop the invasion, what begins as a biological emergency escalates into a nationwide fight for survival. Directed and produced by Irwin Allen and based on Arthur Herzog's bestselling novel, The Swarm brings together an all-star cast led by Michael Caine, Katharine Ross, Richard Widmark, Richard Chamberlain, Olivia de Havilland and Henry Fonda. Produced during the peak of the 1970s disaster-film era, the film blends natural horror, science fiction and large-scale spectacle, becoming one of the most ambitious productions of its genre.
