《The Swarm》是一部全球环境惊悚片,以弗兰克·谢特辛的著作为基础,讲述了当今世界海洋动物的反常行为和反常行为引发的动乱。数百万条奇怪的蠕虫突然出现在北海海底,钻穿冻结的甲烷,威胁到整个大陆架的稳定。成群的贻贝阻止了大型船只的机动。有毒的水母、龙虾和鲸鱼开始沿着世界海岸攻击人类。全球科学家和军方齐聚一堂,共同应对人类所面临的最大挑战。他们令人毛骨悚然地发现,我们并不是这个星球上唯一的智慧物种,而且在海底深处存在着一种集体智慧,这种智慧在其栖息地遭受了文明的破坏,并决定反击。
来自网友【zmbhero】的评论 The story is about an aliens that live quietly on the ocean floor until they are compelled to destroy humanity after their eco-system is disrupted by pollution. Scientists race to stave off an apocalypse. The book was a huge bestseller in Germany and other European countries. While the likes of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" trying to stir concerns about the environment, "The Swarm" becomes the latest in a growing number of films based on the philosophy that there will be payback for mankind's abuses of the planet. 本剧讲述了原本静静地躺在海底的外星人种群,因为环境污染破坏了他们的生态环境,被迫向人类发起攻击。为避免人类遭灭绝,科学家们争分夺秒寻找对策。本剧原著一度在德国与欧洲畅销。与根据美国前总统阿尔·戈尔所著《 难以忽视的真相 》一书改编成的同类纪录片类似,都试图激发人类对环境破坏的忧虑;而本剧《蜂拥而至》则诠释了“人类破坏地球终将遭到报应”的因果论。
