Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo
“Terror has 8 legs.”
Synopsis
When a cargo plane carrying coffee beans crashes near a small California citrus town, it releases a horde of deadly, highly aggressive South American tarantulas into the unsuspecting community. As mysterious deaths begin to pile up, local officials race against time to identify the venomous threat before it spreads. But with the spiders converging on the town's vital orange-processing factory, can the citizens find a way to stop the infestation before their entire town is overrun?
