Volcanic spiders invade Los Angeles and an action star finds himself handling a disaster no publicist can improve. The lava-spewing arachnids are intentionally ridiculous, and the straight-faced emergency response gives this television monster mash its pleasantly absurd temperature.

Synopsis and movie facts
Giant lava breathing tarantulas – Lavalantulas – erupt out of ancient volcanos in the Santa Monica Mountains, raining death and destruction upon Los Angeles. With the City of Angels on the verge of incineration, only a washed up ‘90s action hero actor stands in the way of this monstrous swarm of bloodthirsty creatures who burn their victims alive.
