When rattlesnakes savagely swarm a small California desert town, the local sheriff calls in a herpetologist for help with the fang-faced killers, teaming the zoology professor with a photographer to examine the abnormally aggressive snake behavior. While nature runs amok, the human bodies pile up, and the investigation slithers its way to a mysterious military base and their top secret new nerve gas. Rattlers is a scaly, low budget knockoff of Jaws, absolutely not for the faint of heart with a fear of snakes!
