About Them! (Theatrical Release - June 19, 1954):
Man has split the atom and ushered in a new era. But how could he know he would also create Them? Them! is a landmark movie about giant radiation-mutated ants that gets better with age and boasts remarkable, Academy Award®-nominated special effects. Starring James Whitmore, James Arness and Edmund Gwenn, Them! begins in New Mexico with a child wandering in shock, a ransacked general store - and a battered corpse full of enough formic acid to kill 20 men. It ends with an epic struggle in the 700 miles of storm drains under Los Angeles, where the insect hordes are beaten. But they’re not conquered, because they spawned a generation of films about radioactive creatures. Some approximate the terror, but few have equalled the artistry of Them!

Them! was an obvious inspiration for James Cameron's Aliens (1986). James Arness battling giant ants is the definition of a great Action-Horror film, by the way.
Classic!
This sci-fi classic has to be given a 4k blu-ray release please! 😊
"C'mon you apes! You wanna live forever?"
"It's an ant hive! A bug hive!"
"i need a scientist. You're it until you're dead
or i find someone better."
Would love to see a modern remake.
They did already. It's called Aliens (1986), and was directed by James Cameron.
👍
This kind of movies shouldn’t be recovered they are totally nonsense: this is why humans have destroyed the earth with their fear of nature: ants are not the “bad guys “ we are
That statement is contradicted by the evidence. We aren't afraid of nature. We've actually conquered it to some degree. And we have beautified and improved the Earth.
That doesn't mean that everything we do is good, but we do a lot of good and we certainly aren't the bad guys. You need to look no further than relief efforts for the recent hurricanes that have hit the southeastern United States. There is an overwhelming outpouring in response from all parts of the nation, sending supplies, bringing in thousands of volunteers, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked etc. people are basically very good.
By the way the point of this movie was to warn about the dangers of nuclear weapons. Messages such as these are needed in the world and they're put out by good guys.
