When a truck carrying hazardous chemicals spills its load into an Arizona lake, the local spider population undergoes gigantism. The spiders multiply rapidly, trapping the residents of the small mining town of Prosperity. With no outside help initially available, a former sheriff (David Arquette), a tough‑minded store owner (Kari Wuhrer), and her eccentric son (Scott Terra) band together. They eventually kill the queen spider in the local mine, saving the town—though not before numerous campy, spider‑related deaths.
The character of Chris McCormack (David Arquette) serves as the analog hero in a digital catastrophe. While the town is overrun by hyper-evolved, almost "sci-fi" arachnids, McCormack relies on old-school grit, gasoline, and explosives. He represents the low-tech solution to a high-tech problem. The conflict is not just man versus nature, but tradition versus mutation. The spiders are the byproduct of industrial carelessness—the "glitch" in the system caused by corporate malfeasance. McCormack’s fight is an attempt to restore the town to its original "source code," scrubbing the invasive species from the registry before the entire system crashes.
