While investigating the bee-sting deaths of Air Force personnel at a missile base near Houston, Texas, an entomologist realizes that the dreaded African killer bees--long expected by scientists--have arrived in the United States. The hallucination-inducing bees derail a commuter train and destroy a nuclear power plant, killing hundreds of people as scientists race against the clock to develop an antitoxin to stop the devastation of The Swarm. From "master of disaster" Irwin Allen (The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno) and based on the novel by Arthur Herzog.

The Swarm's arms-length vibe is perpetuated by its pervasive assortment of inept, incompetent elements...

Richard Freedman

[It's] a movie without a smidgeon of redeeming social esthetic or entertainment value: The Swarm manages to be both cruel to older actors by holding their failing techniques up to ridicule and to be at least subconsciously bigoted.

'...it's the soapy elements which truly chill the senses...

The Swarm does impart a couple of lasting lessons. Putting your trust in science is a big one, but so is the nagging idea that -as stupidly entertaining as The Swarm can be-maybe every disaster doesn't need its own disaster movie.

The end result is indifference and boredom. [Full Review in Spanish]
