Lost Horizon
At last! The masterpiece of America's foremost film genius blazes to the screen!
Directed by Frank Capra
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A romantic, philosophically ambitious fantasy about the allure of escape and the tension between utopian refuge and worldly responsibility.
British diplomat Robert Conway and a small group of civilians crash-land in the Himalayas, where they are rescued by the inhabitants of the hidden, idyllic valley of Shangri-La. Protected by the mountains from the world outside, where the clouds of World War II are gathering, Shangri-La provides a seductive escape for the world-weary Conway.
