A group of scientists travel to a remote island to study the effects of nuclear weapons tests, only to get stranded when their airplane mysteriously explodes. The team soon discovers that the tests have given rise to crabs mutated into intelligent, impervious, telepathic giants intent on increasing their numbers by breeding, then travelling to populated areas to feed, and which do not intend to be stopped by their discoverers.

"This is a really fun sci-fi horror film directed by Roger Corman, starring Russell Johnson, The Professor from the "Gilligan's Island" series. An ensemble cast plays a group of scientists who go to a remote island to look for survivors from a previous expedition. While on the island, they hear mysterious voices that sound like the survivors leading them to explore different parts of the island. As the team explores, they encounter crabs that have grown unbelievably large because of radioactive fallout. This is a lot of fun, but at times takes itself too seriously."
