CBS Sunday Night Movie -- Locusts

Lucy Lawless (“Xena: Warrior Princess”) stars in this disaster drama about a deadly breed of bioengineered locusts that create a new and unimaginable threat to the United States by forming multiple swarms covering thousands of square miles and destroying everything in their path.

Dr. Maddy Rierdon (Lawless), a USDA voracious insect expert, is hoping to work on her struggling marriage when a locust outbreak erupts on both coasts of the United States. After she is called upon to assess the situation, Maddy discovers that the locust swarms are a product of a colleague's experiment, and are in fact bioengineered super locusts that can reproduce at a rate ten times greater than a typical one. They are also three times longer than an ordinary locust, can travel approximately 300 miles a day and could be capable of devouring an entire continent.

The population is in a panic as the swarms multiply and attack areas from coast-to-coast. As the food supply, livestock and human lives are threatened by these seemingly unstoppable creatures, the president orders the formation of a special task force to work with Maddy and her team. Unfortunately, no one can come up with an answer to eradicate these insects without taking human lives in the process. As the country faces a modern-day plague unlike anything they have ever seen, the government is in a race against the clock to put an end to this devastating situation.
