"In this Cold War variation on Journey To The Center Of The Earth scripted by Oscar nominee Millard Kaufman (BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK) - and possibly by blacklisted 2x Academy Award winner Dalton Trumbo - '50s sci-fi took a startling turn into a grim abyss

As the world teeters on the brink of nuclear annihilation, a renegade scientist (veteran character actor Victor Kilian, uncredited due to his own blacklisting) assembles a team of experts to drill deep into the earth's core in search of a new ecosystem where humanity can survive.

Otto Waldis (ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN) and Marilyn Nash (MONSIEUR VERDOUX) co-star in this unjustly forgotten classic produced by visual effects artists Jack Rabin & Irving Block (ROCKETSHIP X-M, KRONOS), directed by Terry O. Morse (GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS!) and filmed in Carlsbad Caverns, now scanned uncut in 4K from the protection internegative for the first time ever."
