Rejoice, citizens of Atlantis! Princess Antillia, lost upon uncharted seas, has been guided home by intrepid Greek fisherman, Demetrios. In a strange act of Atlantean gratitude, Demetrios is cast into slavery. He will endure the macabre House of Hell, fighting for his life before a cheering arena throng in the Ordeal of Fire and Water, and rescue the princess again as they flee the realm's volcanic doom. Welcome to Atlantis: The Lost Continent, where royal guardsmen wear uniforms that could easily be from the wardrobe of Ming the Merciless and where some unfortunate slaves are turned into bovine-headed beasts. Yes, that kind of movie: Popcorn-worthy and spearheaded by legendary fantasy film producer George Pal (The War of the Worlds [1953], The Time Machine [1960]).
