Overview
As a result of nuclear testing, gigantic, ferocious mutant ants appear in the American desert southwest, and a father-daughter team of entomologists join forces with the state police officer who first discovers their existence, an FBI agent and, eventually, the US Army to eradicate the menace, before it spreads across the continent — and the world.

By far the best of the '50s cycle of 'creature features.'
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Decently budgeted and atmospheric, it's a sober accomplishment in a cycle that would quickly turn to self-parody.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

This science-fiction shocker has a well-plotted story [by George Worthington Yates, adapted by Russell Hughes], expertly directed and acted in a matter-of-fact style.
