Ben Peterson and his partner, Ed Blackburn, discover a little girl wandering the desert in a catatonic state near <a href="/wiki/Alamogordo" class="mw-redirect" title="Alamogordo">Alamogordo</a>. Shortly after they discover a ravaged travel trailer with its owners missing. They summon an ambulance for the girl then search for clues indicating what may have happened. </p><p>Later that night at a rural general store the officers find it destroyed in the same way the trailer was and its mutilated owner dead, killed fending off some sort of vicious attack. In each case no money had been taken. Peterson leaves Blackburn behind to secure the crime scene. Upon hearing a strange, pulsating sound outside, Blackburn goes to investigate and disappears. </p><p>FBI Agent Robert Graham arrives to investigate. Shortly after <a href="/wiki/Myrmecology" title="Myrmecology">myrmecologist</a> Phd’s Harold Medford and his daughter Pat are sent by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to lend assistance. On an educated hunch, Medford exposes the little girl to formic acid fumes, characteristic of ants. The odor releases her from her catatonia, leaving her shrieking in panic, "Them! Them!" </p><p>Peterson accompanies Graham and the Medfords to where the girl was first discovered. There Pat is accosted by a giant foraging ant. Following Medford's orders, Peterson and Graham shoot off the ant's antennae, to blind it, then kill it with a <a href="/wiki/Thompson_submachine_gun" title="Thompson submachine gun">Thompson submachine gun</a>. Medford theorizes that the giant ants mutated by radiation from <a href="/wiki/Trinity_(nuclear_test)" title="Trinity (nuclear test)">the first atomic bomb test</a> near Alamogordo, and have turned carnivorous from lack of a suitable food supply in the desert. </p><p>A helicopter search ensues, and a cave-sized ant nest is found. <a href="/wiki/Cyanide" title="Cyanide">Cyanide</a> gas bombs are tossed inside before Graham, Peterson, and Pat check for survivors. Inside, the trio are attacked by surviving guard ants, which they dispatch with <a href="/wiki/Flamethrower" title="Flamethrower">flamethrower</a> and <a href="/wiki/Thompson_submachine_gun" title="Thompson submachine gun">Thompson</a> before Pat finds evidence that two queens have hatched and escaped to establish new colonies. With the possibility that each could grow to thousands of ants apiece and spawn thousands more nests, Dr. Medford announces that mankind may become extinct within a year if the new winged queens aren’t found and eradicated. </p><p>A worldwide search is begun. One queen and its offspring are discovered aboard a freighter in mid-ocean out of Acapulco, which savagely attacked its crew. A handful of crewmen are rescued from the water and the freighter is sunk by U.S. naval gunfire. </p><p>Graham and Pat then travel to Brownsville, Texas, to interrogate a civilian pilot, committed to a mental hospital after claiming he was forced down by <a href="/wiki/Unidentified_flying_object" title="Unidentified flying object">UFOs</a> shaped like giant ants. A later report sends the investigators west to a Los Angeles hospital, where a chronic alcoholic claims he has seen giant ants in the city’s storm drain system. The mutilated body of a man is shortly found nearby, but his two young sons remain missing. </p><p>Martial law is declared and a curfew imposed. With help from Graham, the Medfords, and the armed forces, Peterson searches inside the cavernous drain network for the two boys. He finds them trapped by the ants near their nest. He calls for reinforcements and lifts the boys to safety, just before being attacked and killed by a giant ant. Graham arrives with backup, and they find the remaining queen and her hatchlings. The Medfords confirm that no new queens have gotten away and sanction their destruction. The senior Dr. Medford muses on the possible consequences of the decade of atomic tests already carried out since the firing of the <a href="/wiki/Trinity_(nuclear_test)" title="Trinity (nuclear test)">Trinity</a> atomic bomb. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Them!&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/James_Whitmore" title="James Whitmore">James Whitmore</a> as Sgt.

"All Media" 3D camera rig malfunctioned and no footage could be filmed. The next day a memo was sent out that the color and 3D aspects of the production were to be scrapped; widescreen black-and-white would now be the film's presentation format.
