The Beasts Are on the Streets

A careening tanker truck rips through the fence of a wild animal park, unleashing an untamed force of nature on an unsuspecting community. The Beasts are on the Streets! Bison, zebras, camels, antelopes and ostriches stampede down the highway. Elephants and rhinos crush cars. A panther terrorizes a family's pet dog. A tiger turns a fleeing bystander into helpless prey. A lion prowls near a home. A local amusement park becomes an arena for a vicious bear-vs.-tiger clash. As park rangers and local cops scramble to recapture the escaped animals, two trigger-happy good ol' boys decide to go big-game hunting. Carol Lynley, who fought her way through an upside-down luxury liner in the Poseidon Adventure, returns to the disaster-pic genre as a dedicated veterinarian thrust into the forefront of the people vs. Beasts panic. Also in the cast: Philip Michael Thomas before he shot to fame in Miami Vice.
