Dr. Cyclops
Directed by Ernest B. Schoedsack
Produced by Paramount Pictures
A pulpy 1940s sci-fi adventure where explorers become victims of a mad scientist's miniaturization experiment in the Peruvian jungle, blending wonder and threat in equal measure.
Four explorers are summoned to Peru by the brilliant physicist Dr Thorkel. They discover a rich source of radium and a half-mad Thorkel who shrinks them down to one-fifth their normal size when they threaten to stop his unorthodox experimentation.
