When
a reporter (Peter Graves) investigates the mysterious destruction
of a town, he discovers a secret government agriculture center
experimenting with super growth formulas. Suddenly, colossal
Grasshoppers emerge from a grain storage facility to rampage
human-kind. Desperate to stop the giant insects before they

to watery doom using their mating call is conceived by scientists… but is it only the beginning of the end? |
