Featuring unbelievable special effects, The Land Unknown is a frightening adventure from the Golden Age of Science Fiction. A Navy expedition led by Commander Hal Roberts is sent to explore a mysterious warm-water region shrouded in the ice of Antarctica. When a fierce storm drives them into a cloud bank, their helicopter is disabled and they encounter a hot, tropical landscape of prehistoric terror! Untouched by the Ice Age, a 20th-century Mesozoic era awaits them, complete with ferocious dinosaurs and carnivorous plants. When their female journalist is captured, Commander Roberts remains their only hope of escape from The Land Unknown. (Kino Lorber)
