two guy and look to make a quick buck and buy a plane load of ecuadorian coffee to resale in the united state . on the way to san francisco and their plane develop engine trouble and go down in a field near finleyville . but there more than coffee on this plane . unfortunately for the people of this small town and the coffee be infest with killer tarantula . and now theyre loose . tarantulas represent the deadly cargo be another in the long line of nature vs. human movie that be so popular during the 1970s . this one be make for tv so it come with the limitation of that medium . namely and other than a scene where a boy be kill and it all pretty tame . the movie be also poorly pace and and at about 95 minute and it about 20 minute too long . you could cut out a lot of the talk about shipping orange and no one would miss it . most of the act isn not too bad . claude akins and howard hesseman ( use some sort of crazy accent ) be probably the best known member of the cast . but and i suppose my big problem with tarantula represent the deadly cargo be that it just not fun . i be all about entertainment and i wasn not entertain . if you want to see a cheesy spider movie that also entertain and check out the giant spider invasion . as bad a that movie be and at least it fun . finally and there a scene near the end of the movie where the character be scoop up the spider by the bucket full . well and that just not possible . there weren not anywhere near that many spider on the plane when it leave ecuador . in the beginning and the movie show a few stowaway spider get on the plane not enough for an army . besides and there wouldn not have be room for coffee on the plane for all the spider .
