WILLIAM SHATNER stars as veterinarian “Rack” Hansen in this 1977 cult classic about an Arizona town infested with a horde of arachnids that turn on the humans whose insecticides have depleted their normal food supply. After livestock from Rack’s friend, rancher Walter Colby fall victim to a spider attack, entomologist Diane Ashley arrives and tries to help Rack deal with the crisis, but with the big county fair fast approaching, Mayor Connors refuses to let them quarantine Colby’s ranch. Soon, the remaining residents of the town are attacked as the spiders launch a massive siege against mankind.
