The film title might be a little off in different versions; the original title is “Lost Continent.” Other versions are "The Lost Continent".
We are testing a new atomic rocket that is designed to turn back at will. Unfortunately, the rocket had a mind of its own. Now we must go find it and retrieve it before the others do. Of course, the retrievers are a collection of scientists and explorers. There is a suggestion that one of the scientists is not what he appears to be. This is the sneaky-looking Michael Rostov (John Hoyt). All the other scientists seem to be having mysterious accidents. Maj. Joe Nolan (Cesar Romero) not only suspects Rostov but others of duplicity. Is Major Nolan just paranoid? Let's follow the story and see as we find a mysterious island, an escarpment dubbed “The Lost Continent?”
I suggest that if you're scared of big lizards and radioactivity, you bypass this film. Other than that, it can be quite fun but nothing unique.
One thing you might find quite interesting about this film is that when they're on top of the escarpment, the black-and-white film turns into a green and white film and looks quite eerie.
For those moviegoers who are eclectic enough to see Abbot and Costello movies, you are in for a treat as Hillary Brooke shows her bareback.
