TAGLINES : "A Sci-Fi Classic of The Atomic Age!" "A horror horde of crawl-and-crush giants clawing out of the earth from mile-deep catacombs!" "Kill one and two take its place!" "This city is under martial law until we annihilate THEM!" - The earliest atomic tests in New Mexico cause common ants to mutate into giant man-eating monsters that threaten civilization. In the New Mexico desert, Police Sgt. Ben Peterson and his partner find a child wandering in the desert and soon they discover that giant ants are attacking the locals. FBI agent Robert Graham teams up with Ben and with the support of Dr. Harold Medford and his daughter Dr. Patricia 'Pat' Medford, they destroy the colony of ants in the middle of the desert. Dr. Harold Medford explains that the atomic testing in 1945 developed the dangerous mutant ants. But they also discover that two queen ants have flown away to Los Angeles and they are starting a huge colony in the underground flood control tunnels of that city. When a mother reports that her two children are missing, the team begin searching for them. Will they arrive in time to save the children and destroy the colony? Nominated for Academy Award OSCAR for Best Special f/X. CAST includes James Whitmore, Edmund Gwenn, James Arness, Joan Weldon, Fess Parker, Onslow Stevens, Sandy Descher, Willis Bouchey, William Schallert, Ann Doran, Dean Fredericks, Dub Taylor, Dick York, Leonard Nimoy. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : Walt Disney screened the movie because he was interested in casting James Arness as Davy Crockett. However, he was so impressed by Fess Parker as the "Crazy Texan Pilot", that he chose him for the part. The sound that the giant ants make as they approach their prey is a recorded chorus of bird-voiced tree frogs (Hyla avivoca) of the southeastern U.S. Occasionally, a gray tree frog (Hyla chrysoscelis) can be heard on the soundtrack as well, as these species can often be heard together at the same wetland. These distinctive whistling-type sounds were reused in other films in the years that followed, particularly in Mohawk (1956) and The Black Scorpion (1957).
