Low-budget lunacy from Bert I Gordon finds a swarm of giant locusts in Chicago and B-Movie icon Peter Graves trying to save the world from the dreadful scourge. Some hungry grasshoppers chowed down on veggies blasted with radiation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and now they’re on a path of destruction, wiping out whatever city they come across. The head scientist (Graves, naturally) teams up with a headstrong reporter and races the clock to figure out how to get rid of the gargantuan pest before the military drops an atomic bomb on the Windy City. You’ll drown in dialogue between the cheap special effects but if your brain is like mine, you’ll find more to enjoy than regret.
