Synopsis

After a series of Amazonian Indian attacks on US owned petroleum installation in Brazil, both governments start a secret 'special program'. In fact colonel Ezekial's men use GM killer bees to eradicate the tribes. During an Indian attack, reporter Ann Bauer is stung, yet survives after a mysterious rescue. Dr. Stephen North realizes the venom has priceless healing powers and smuggles the bee aboard a flight to New York. Bauer, her nearly-divorced husband, Martin, who is aboard and her friend, US State Department project representative, Scotty, face potential mass-killing after turbulence releases the bees aboard.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Rosabel This is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen outside MST3K. In fact, it would have been a perfect candidate for Mike and bots to snark on, and I can only hope that the Film Crew might discover it one day and give it the appropriate treatment. The writing is terrible, and the film doesn't even TRY to make any of the characters likable. From sullen, duck-billed Gabrielle Anwar to scruffy, chip-on-the-shoulder Craig Sheffer, to Rutger Hauer, who looks astonishingly like Michael Moore in this film, there is not one character I wouldn't be happy to see stung to death by killer bees. Ann Bauer is supposed to be a sexy reporter who has men falling like ninepins everywhere she goes, but she absolutely no chemistry with anyone in the movie, neither her loathsome soon-to-be ex-husband or the laughable Lothario, Scotty. Anwar mutters her dialog half the time, and Sheffer seems to think that grumbling sarcasm denotes strong masculinity.These two characters are supplemented by Hauer's Ezekiel, some nutcase American commando who lurches about waving a pistol in one hand and a little black book in the other. One guess what THAT is supposed to be, and I don't think it's the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice. There is also a U.S. State Department official named Scotty, who mysteriously seems to be running the entire Brazilian Amazon, with just one office and no secretary. According to this movie, Brazil has no real government, because Americans have moved in to eradicate native tribes, carpet-bomb nice upper-middle class towns, set up military no-go areas and take home all the oil. I'm guessing they picked on the State Department to run this operation, because trying to pin it to the better-known CIA and Department of Defense would have been too unbelievable.This movie gives the term "ugly American" a whole new level of meaning. The must insulting suggestion is that American soldiers don't seem to know how to shoot when confronted by loincloth-wearing bushmen armed with spears and bows and arrows. Wave after wave of machinegun-toting American commandos are mowed down by flying spears and flaming arrows before they can manage to get off a single shot. Of course, they obligingly stand upright and go running across clearings even though they are surrounded on all sides by bushes and buildings, so it makes it a bit easier for the natives to take aim. And boy, can they aim! Every dart kills a soldier, and every flaming arrow hits a can of gasoline, causing an explosion which kills a few more Americans. I guess in basic training, these guys were told that if their clothes catch fire, they should go flailing across country, until they find another barrel of gasoline to catch hold of for support. It's like watching 4 Denethors charging across the screen. "Oil" seems to be the magic word here, which smooths away inconvenient facts and excuses the most ludicrous plot device, in this case, killer bees that will ethnically cleanse the Amazon of inconvenient natives so Americans can systematically rape the land. Actually, I think the writers deserve an award for their restraint: they managed to get through the entire movie without once using the word "Bush".The movie also uses a hoary old cliché, which is that natives are well-meaning but disorganized. They need a white man to turn them into a potent force, and this shows up in the shape of the mysterious leader of the 'Shadow People', an American doctor named (I kid you not) 'Savior' (Duncan Regehr), who righteously lectures Ann on America's polluting ways, citing this as "one small example of your government's policy of sacrificing the environment for corporate greed." Half the idiocy takes place on the ground, and the other in the air on a bee-infested passenger jet where Ann's husband Martin gets to prove what a hero he is. He is accompanied by Easily-Led Captain ("You're in charge out there"), Feisty Black Stewardess, Nerdy Kid, Surfer Babe and Bill Maher Wannabe. Everyone else is just ethnically diverse background chorus.
oceanicairlines I am a pilot, and am very familiar with commercial aircraft, but the scenes in this movie contain several different aircraft, until they finally choose a poor computer generation of a Boeing 767-200ER for Inter-Americas flight 209. However the cabin and flight deck are right for the aircraft unlike many movies today. I love the cabin attendants, the best service I have ever seen. Just watch and you'll see why Michelle has to be one of the best flight attendants. The story it's self is very predictable, and the acting for some of the characters is subservient. But overall it is a good movie to sit and veg with on a Friday night, how ever I don't like the fact that it doesn't make you think, other than how unrealistic this is. Also a passenger who has no flying experience, could not ever under any circumstances land a 767 on a field. The aircraft comes in for a landing at 160-180mph, and handles like a bus, so the ending is unrealistic. However it is true that that aircraft can make a landing on a field, it has happened, but only with an experienced crew.
Jack Wow, this is the most poorly made thing I've ever seen in my life. The story is like...I don't know what. Sometimes when you're watching a cheap B movie, something will happen that's just so stupid that you almost want to yell at the TV screen. Now, imagine a movie that consists of nothing but moments like that, one after another. It starts with a bunch of guys with machine guns fighting some guys with spears. Even though the guys with spears stand still, right out in the open, the guys with machine guns can't hit them. Every time a spear is thrown, it lands right in a barrel of rocket fuel and kills a dozen of the guys with machine guns.Then some guys attack the village where the "shadow people" live. (Aren't those the folks from Anaconda?) The helicopters fire missiles which only hit the grass huts. Then they attack with hand grenades, which only hit the previously blown up grass huts. Though they're not blown up anymore until the hand grenades hit them. Then we see a waterfall blow up, you know, from one of those Rambo movies when the Russians dropped a big bomb on Stallone. Then there's a plane that has a 727 for coach, and a DC-10 for first class. Heck, first class is as big as a restaurant or something. They put all the coach passengers in first class, and it's still half empty. Someone fires a missile at the plane, but luckily there's a nerd on board who, in a couple of minutes, reprograms the plane's computer to emit a false radar image. It's also a GCI passenger jet, and it does turns which must pull about 30 g's.And that's just a small portion of the obvious screw ups. The story of this thing makes that seem like nothing in comparison. I feel the need to repeat that - all those screw ups are absolutely nothing in comparison to the story. Imagine some ridiculously preachy environmentalist propaganda piece mixed with a horrible B movie adventure type thing, and throw in some "killer bees", which are actually just regular cute little honey bees. I really loved the part where the guy named "Saviour" (yes, I'm not kidding) starts preaching about how the female lead's government is responsible for destroying the rain forest. I mean, they're in South America, and she's obviously from Britain. The movie opens with "Tensions are high due to the United States refusal to sign the Kyoto agreement". But the point of contention is about building a highway through the rain forest. I wasn't aware that global warming is responsible for highway construction. But what does it matter...once you get preaching, it's hard to stop even if you quit making sense a couple of hours ago. As far as the mega super highway through the rain forest - it doesn't go anywhere. Are there a lot of super highways built that just sort of end out in the middle of nowhere? And then our characters find a tractor out in the middle of the jungle and conclude that it is proof that they're going to extend the highway at least as far as the position of the tractor. I guess it's inconceivable that a small tractor, 100 miles from the construction site, might be used for anything other than building a super highway. The apparent theory is that they airdrop the equipment out in the middle of the jungle so that it will be available for use when the highway gets there.There are lots of really terrible B movies out there, but they all pale in comparison to this grand accomplishment. Someone should create a research project to find out what in the world goes on inside the heads of the people who made this. It's unfathomable.
Fredrik Westlund Excellent Movie! I like this kind of "Congo" Movies Virus and stuff! If you like "virus" movies... airplane disaster movies and so... see it... you wont regret it.. i gave it 8/10
