A fictitious scientist called Dr. Nils Hellstrom (played by Lawrence Pressman) guides viewers throughout the film. He claims, on the basis of scientific-sounding theories, that insects will ultimately win the fight for survival on planet Earth because of their adaptability and ability to reproduce rapidly, and that the human race will lose this fight largely because of excessive individualism. The film combines short clips from horror and science fiction movies with extraordinary camera sequences of butterflies, locusts, wasps, termites, ants, mayflies, other insects rarely seen before on film and insectivorous plants/insects.

Le documentaire donne la libre parole à plusieurs acteurs de la filière, et montre une variété de points de vue qui parfois se répondent les uns les autres à des points différents du globe. Des allers et retours entre l'Europe et l'Amérique sont fréquents tout au long du film, qui se termine par une arche de Noé bâtie en Australie, au large de Perth.

En pleine savane africaine, au sud-est du Burkina Faso, à l'abri dans leur tour de plusieurs mètres de haut, les termites sont au travail… lorsqu'un drame vient bouleverser leur vie bien ordonnée. Une pluie tropicale diluvienne va inonder galeries et chambres de la termitière éventrée. Non loin de là, une colonne de terribles fourmis magnans, carnassières, se prépare à l'attaque. Elles vont profiter de la fragilité de la tour des termites pour mener un véritable assaut. Une guerre sans merci va faire rage…

The film focuses on Project Nim, a research project that was mounted to determine whether a primate raised in close contact with humans could develop a limited "language" based on American Sign Language. The project was centred on a chimpanzee named Nim Chimpsky.
