Plot
While covering a story in a remote Brazilian rainforest, television journalist Ann Bauer (Gabrielle Anwar) stumbles all too literally on greedy Dr. North's (David Naughton) secret experiment: Raise genetically mutated bees and sell their venom's healing properties as medicine. But the bees contain a deadly, fast-acting virus, and North has shipped several cases of the live insects onto a passenger jet headed for -- gulp! -- New York City. Luckily, Ann's soon-to-be-ex-husband Marty (Craig Sheffer) is on the plane. Unluckily, back in Brazil, crazed terrorist Mr. Ezekial (Rutger Hauer) and his helicopter-borne army are intent on wiping out the Shadow People tribe of Indians to keep the bees for himself.
