An atomic-powered rocket fired from White Sands Missile Base is lost in an unexplored region of the South Pacific. A military expedition is dispatched to find it. Searching by air, their plane loses control and crash-lands on a strange uncharted island--a lost world of prehistoric dinosaurs and vast radioactive uranium fields, so powerful that they cause rockets and planes to go off course. A beautifully crafted science fiction film starring Cesar Romero, Hugh Beaumont and John Hoyt. Excellent production values and a magnificent score highlight this legendary Atomic Age adventure, restored in the original theatrical version with the famous green-tinted "lost world" sequences. A must-see for all sci-fi afficionados!

Cesar Romero (the Joker from TV's BATMAN) and Hugh Beaumont (best known as Ward Cleaver on LEAVE IT TO BEAVER) star in this very dated fantasy/adventure film as Major Joe Nolan and Robert Phillips, respectively. Major Nolan is the leader of an expedition to find a rocket that crashed on a remote island. Once at the island, the crew discovers the rocket is on top of a mountain, which they climb and find a prehistoric land populated by dinosaurs. A jaunty, entertaining film that features some quaint dialogue and special effects, THE LOST CONTINENT is nonetheless still a genuinely enjoyable movie.
