At the Earth's Core
dir. Kevin Connor · 1976
A Victorian scientist and his American financier inadvertently plunge into a vast underground world filled with enslaved humans and monstrous birds. The film unfolds with a sense of wonder and danger, inviting viewers into a fantastical realm where courage and ingenuity are tested against overwhelming odds.
A Victorian scientist and his young American backer set off in their new earth-boring machine with a short test on a Welsh mountain. Unfortunately the thing is rather more powerful than expected and they end up in an enormous cavern at the centre of the earth. Here they find a race of humans enslaved to evil oversized prehistoric birds with extra-sensory abilities. The travellers decide they can be some help, the more so as at least one of the slaves is very eye-catching.
