Mutant snakes survived a terrorist attack on a government laboratory, and they now threaten the town of Santa Mira Springs, California. Seismic activity has brought snakes to the surface, where residents are being bitten. Victims can transmit the virus to healthy persons. The military puts the town under quarantine. Local physicians try to control the epidemic, while the military is primarily concerned with keeping the virus a secret.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Fred Olen Ray directed over 150 films, mostly direct-to-video creature features with titles like 'Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold.'
This arrived during the early-2000s snake movie boom—'Snakes on a Plane' was still four years away, but the hunger was real.
