The Swarm (1978)

In the heart of South America, a deadly breed of killer bees begins to emerge, the result of a chilling union between their fierce nature and the gentler bees of the northern climates. As these lethal creatures slowly extend their territory, they form a grave threat that seeps northward, decade after decade. At the forefront of this impending crisis is Brad Crane, an astute entomologist, who unearths the startling fact that an unseen force is compelling these bees to congregate into massive, killer swarms. As these formidable swarms descend upon an Air Force base in Texas, they leave nothing but sheer devastation in their wake. Their deadly march continues, swallowing the quaint town of Marysville before setting their sights on the bustling city of Houston. Amid the chaos, Crane, driven by a mixture of scientific curiosity and humanistic concern, rallies a team of scientists in a desperate bid to unearth an antidote and neutralize this formidable enemy. In stark contrast to Crane's approach, stands the obstinate General Slater, who carries the heavy mantle of military command. He's determined to quash the lethal swarms using military might, despite warnings that such tactics could disrupt the delicate balance of nature. As the tension between these two ideologies mounts, the struggle isn't just about saving Houston but also about preserving the intricate rhythms of Mother Nature herself. "The Swarm" is a thrilling exploration of man's battle against nature's deadly creations, a race against time where the stakes are not just human lives but the very balance of the natural world.

The Swarm is a horror movie featuring Michael Caine.
