The film features a fictional scientist, Dr. Nils Hellstrom (played by Lawrence Pressman), who argues that insects are superior to humans due to their adaptability, collective intelligence, and ruthless efficiency, and that they will ultimately inherit the Earth. It is described as a "quasi-documentary" or "horror pseudo-documentary" with an ominous tone.It won the 1972 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and the BAFTA Award for Best Documentary, despite being a fictional narrative.
Directed by Walon Green and Ed Spiegel, and produced by David L. Wolper, it was a major influence on Frank Herbert's novel Hellstrom's Hive.
