Summary: A huge swarm of deadly African bees spreads terror over American cities by killing thousands of people.

Out of: 4.5/10

Release Date: 7/14/78

Taglines:

  • It is more than speculation… it is a prediction!
  • The movie with a sting in its tale!
  • …is here!
  • Monsters by the millions – and they’re all for real!
  • This is more than a movie. It’s a prediction!
  • 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.

Trivia:

  • The cast featured seven Oscar winners: Sir Michael Caine, Dame Olivia de Havilland, Ben Johnson, José Ferrer, Patty Duke, Lee Grant, and Henry Fonda; and two Oscar nominees: Richard Widmark and Katharine Ross.
  • Because of how the bees were portrayed in the film, the American Bee Association released a cease and desist order to The Swarm (1978) for defaming the character of the American honey bee and, as a result, at the end of the film there is a disclaimer, saying the killer bees portrayed in it bear no resemblance to real crop pollinating honey bees.
