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.

This is the first film of director M. Night Shyamalan's in which he does not physically appear for a cameo. He is the voice of "Joey," who calls Alma a few times throughout the movie. The audience never sees him, nor learns of his fate.
M. Night Shyamalan wrote the screenplay with Mark Wahlberg in mind as the lead.
This film was completely shot in sequence.
Although Mark Wahlberg admitted that he regrets working on this movie, he also said, "You can't blame me for wanting to try to play a science teacher. At least I wasn't playing a cop or a crook."
