Atlantis: The Lost Continent
SIGHTS NEVER BEFORE SEEN - Adventure never before experienced!
Directed by George Pal
Produced by George Pal Productions, Galaxy Productions
A colorful 1960s fantasy-adventure built on mythic spectacle and a cautionary tale about the misuse of advanced technology, with a Greek fisherman caught between love and enslavement in a doomed civilization.
A Greek Fisherman brings an Atlantean Princess back to her homeland which is the mythical city of Atlantis. He is enslaved for his trouble. The King is being manipulated by an evil sorcerer who is bent on using a natural resource of Atlantis to take over the world. The Atlanteans, or rather the slaves of Atlantis, are forced to mine a crystalline material which absorbs the suns rays. These crystals can then be used for warmth. The misuse of science has created weapons out of the crystals that can fire a heat ray to destroy whatever it touches.
