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.
A slow-burn dread engineered from empty desert silences and sounds you feel before you see their source. Them! withholds its threat with patience, letting the atomic unease of its era seep into every frame. What unsettles is not spectacle but the creeping certainty that something vast and wrong has been loosed on the world.
