101 Films presents Phase IV (1974), a gripping and philosophical cult classic that examines humanity's place in the universe.
In a sealed lab in the Arizona desert, scientists James Lesko (Michael Murphy, Manhattan) and Dr. Ernest Hubbs (Nigel Davenport, A Man For All Seasons) search for answers to an evolutionary shift in the ant population; the development of a collective intelligence and cross-species hive mentality. With humanity under threat, the scientists are faced with the choice of either communicating with, or eradicating their antagonists.
The only feature film directed by legendary designer and filmmaker Saul Bass, this release includes his original ending as an extra.
