A reversion to the 1950s invasion genre, modernized somewhat with a plug for sunflower seeds and a caution against pesticides, and beefed up needlessly with an "all-star" cast. The invasion, this time around, is by a dark cloud of African bees whose sting is described as "even more virulent than the Australian brown-box jellyfish." The American military officers refer to the attacking hordes as simply "Africans," which injects a subtle Third World scare into an otherwise completely torpid movie. The nicest that can be said of it is that the Stirling Silliphant script is so lame as to evoke pity and titters. Michael Caine, Katharine Ross, Richard Widmark, Lee Grant, Fred MacMurray, and Henry Fonda; directed by Irwin Allen. (1978) — Duncan Shepherd
