It Came from the Desert

Set in present-day New Mexico, 'It Came from the Desert' follows Brian and Lukas as they head to a desert party celebrating Lukas' motocross victory, which also affords a chance to meet The Deathinator, a famed action star. What begins as a festive gathering quickly turns into a harrowing adventure when Brian and Lukas uncover a secret military lab where experiments blending DNA from a 1951 meteorite with ants and spiders have created giant mutated ants. The two friends must now confront this terrifying threat to save humanity.

Trivia:
