About the film: Produced and directed by Irwin Allen — the celebrated “Master of Disaster” behind The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno — The Swarm is an all-star 1970s disaster epic in which a massive swarm of African killer bees threatens the United States. Filmed using an estimated 22 million real bees, it is one of the most ambitious creature disaster films of its era and a staple of retro film collecting.
