Them! (1954)
New Releases • 1h 32m
"Them!" (1954) unfolds as a chilling science fiction tale where the unintended consequences of nuclear testing come to life. Set against the stark backdrop of the New Mexico desert, the film follows law enforcement officers and scientists as they uncover a nest of gigantic, irradiated ants that pose a new and terrifying threat to humanity. As these monstrous creatures breed and spread, a tense national search ensues, culminating in a desperate battle within the storm drains of Los Angeles. Without revealing the outcome, "Them!" remains a pioneering narrative in the "big bug" genre, combining suspense with a stark commentary on the atomic age.
