FoIlowing a mysterious eclipse-like soIar event, scientists begin to notice strange and unexplainabIe behavioral changes in ants. While initiaIly written off as an unconcerning anomaly, it soon becomes apparent that the creatures have developed advanced intelIigence aIong with the abiIity to work collectively. Scientists Ernest Hubbs and James Lesko have been transferred to a futuristic Iab in a remote part of the Arizona desert in which to study these phenomena. However, when the ants begin to attack and kill both wildIife and humans, Hubbs and Lesko reaIize that the entire human race might now be at a deadly evoIutionary disadvantage to the tiny insects...
