SPIDERS 3D follows the crash of a derelict Soviet space station into a Manhattan subway tunnel. A new species of spider is discovered in the wreckage. When the spiders mutate to gigantic proportions, an MTA subway employee (Muldoon) works to protect his family and all of New York from destruction.

The film features government conspiracies, a city under siege, daring rescues, family drama, rekindled romance, and a 60-foot giant queen spider. And she’s angry. During the final showdown in the subway tunnels he knows so well, Jason battles the Queen to save ex-wife (Campbell) and daughter Emily (Sydney Sweeney) and New York City.
