Roy (1978 film)

"The most terrifying thing about THE SWARM is that it is based on Fact: It exists. Fact: It has awesome destructive power. Fact: We don’t know how to stop it. ”

General Talius Slater leaves with his squad to one of the military bases in Texas. An alarm bell came about an unclear danger. Upon arrival, the military will only be found alive by the miraculously surviving entomologist. He explained that the entire garrison died from the bites of African killer bees. Soon, civilians from nearby towns began to die from the same bites. It became clear that it was necessary to combine the efforts of the military and doctors to stop the deadly swarm.
