Synopsis

Giant, aggressive mutant ants emerge in the American Southwest desert as a consequence of nuclear testing. A team of entomologists, a father and his daughter, collaborate with a state police officer who first encounters the creatures, along with an FBI agent and, ultimately, the U.S. Army, in an effort to eliminate the threat before it spreads across the continent and beyond.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
