Sci-Fi/Horror/Thriller

After several people in the New Mexico desert wind up missing or dead, including an F.B.I. agent and most of his family, police Sgt. Ben Peterson teams up with F.B.I. agent Bob Graham to find out what's causing the strange occurrences. They find send a strange print found at one of the crime scenes and it is sent to the Department of Agriculture. Doctor Harold Medford and his daughter Doctor Patricia Medford arrive and ask to be taken to the scene of some of the disappearances. When they get there they are shocked to find gigantic ants, whose mutations were caused by the first atomic bomb explosion nine years earlier. They manage to destroy the nest of ants, but not before two winged queen ants and a couple of drones have hatched and escaped the nest. Now it is a race against time to find the two queen ants before they can establish more nests and hatch more queens.

Very good all around much better than you'll find in most creature movie of the current day, or from any day really.

This movie starts off as a typical crime thriller then around the half way mark the giants ants show up. While its was solid as a crime thriller I enjoyed the second half of the movie more, and would have preferred to see more of the creatures as I almost always find creatures more intriguing than the humans in the movie. It has great special effects that where ahead of there time( and nominated for an Academy Award), and plenty of enjoyable, monster movie action. Overall it makes for a good movie, and classic B-Level monster movie, definitely worth owning.
