The 2001 B-movie disaster film Venomous checks all the familiar movie tropes corrupt government officials, evil military leaders, and mad scientists. The film's plot is about a pair of middle eastern assassins who break into a secret government lab in California. The scientists are genetically modifying Rattlesnakes with a virus they will use in battle against the USA's enemies, and of course, the snakes escape setting up the events of the film.
The main character is Dr. David Henning, the doctor of the small town of Santa Mira Springs, California, where the film takes place. He is played by Treat Williams, known for being in many movies and tv shows.
Thank you to those who suggested reviewing Venomous; I laughed many times throughout the film!
