|Giant sand worms called "Graboids" begin attacking the residents of a small isolated town in the Nevada desert and block the only road out of town. One of the few Hollywood films to portray personal firearm ownership in a positive light as Burt Gummer and his wife Heather fight off one of the Graboids with a variety of firearms, including semi-automatic AR-15s. Burt also creates the explosives that are used to kill the last two Graboids. Ironically, Burt is played by Michael Gross, the same actor who played the super liberal Steven Keaton in Family Ties. | |Giant sand worms called "Graboids" begin attacking the residents of a small isolated town in the Nevada desert and block the only road out of town.
