Elliot Moore is a high school science teacher who quizzes his class one day about an article in the New york Times. It's about the sudden, mysterious disappearance of bees. yet again Nature is doing something inexplicable, and whatever science has to say about it will be, in the end, only a theory. Scientists will bring out more theories, but no explanations, when a more urgent dilemma hits the planet. It begins in Central Park. Suddenly and inexplicably, the behavior of everyone in the park changes in a most bizarre and horrible way. Soon, the strange behavior spreads throughout the city and beyond. Elliot, his wife, Alma, and Jess, the young daughter of a friend, will only have theories to guide them where to run and where to hide. But theories may not be enough.

Movie Quote(s):
- Alma Moore: [as they are abandoned] Can you believe how crappy people are?

[first lines] Woman Reading on Bench with Hair Pin: I forgot where I am. Woman Reading on Bench: You're at the place where the killers meet to decide what to do with the crippled girl.

Train Conductor: The train service has been discountinued. This will be the last stop for all passengers. Elliot Moore: Hey, what do you mean? Where are we? Train Conductor: Filbert, Pennsylvania. Elliot Moore: Filbert? Does anybody know where that is? Why are you giving me one useless piece of information at a time? What's going on? Hey, why would you just stop? You can't just leave us here! Train Conductor: Sir, we lost contact. Elliot Moore: With whom? Train Conductor: Everyone.

Elliot Moore: You're not interested in what happened to the bees? [Jake shakes his head] Elliot Moore: You should be more interested in science, Jake. You know why? Because your face is perfect. The problem is, your face is perfect at 15. Now if you were interested in science, you would know facts like the human nose and ears grow a fraction of an inch each year. So a perfect balance of features now might not look so perfect five years from now, and might look down right whack ten years from now. [students laugh] Elliot Moore: Come on, buddy. Take an interest in science. What could be the reason bees have vanished? Jake: [after a long pause] An act of nature, and we'll never fully understand it. Elliot Moore: Nice answer, Jake. He's right. Science will come up with some reason to put in the books, but in the end it'll be just a theory. I mean, we will fail to acknowledge that there are forces at work beyond our understanding. To be a scientist, you must have a respectful awe for the laws of nature. [Jake raises his hand] Elliot Moore: Jake? Jake: How much does the human nose grow each year? Elliot Moore: It's miniscule, buddy. Okay? Don't worry about it. You're going to be a heartthrob your whole life. I was just messing with you.

Principal: [to concerned teachers] Alright, there appears to be an event happening. Central Park was just hit by what seems to be a terrorist attack. They're not clear on the scale yet. It's some kind of airborne chemical toxin that's been released in and around the park. They said to watch for warning signs. The first stage is confused speech. The second stage is physical disorientation, loss of direction. The third stage... is fatal.
