The premise

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.

Horror Vault's take

When nuclear testing in the New Mexico desert unleashes something far worse than fallout, a trail of destruction and traumatized survivors draws together a tenacious state trooper, FBI agent, and two determined entomologists. What they find defies belief — and the clock is already ticking. Them! stands as one of the defining giant-monster films of the atomic era, blending procedural thriller pacing with genuine creature-feature dread. The threat grows larger in every sense as the investigation pushes the team from the sun-scorched desert toward a desperate, large-scale military confrontation.
