Storyline

A Greek Fisherman brings an Atlantean Princess back to her homeland which is the mythical city of Atlantis. He is enslaved for his trouble. The King is being manipulated by an evil sorcerer who is bent on using a natural resource of Atlantis to take over the world. The Atlanteans, or rather the slaves of Atlantis, are forced to mine a crystalline material which absorbs the suns rays. These crystals can then be used for warmth. The misuse of science has created weapons out of the crystals that can fire a heat ray to destroy whatever it touches.—



Short Review

Not great but not bad tale of a fisherman, Demetrios (Anthony Hall, aka Sal Ponti), in ancient Greece who picks up a woman (Joyce Taylor) who turns out to be a the Princess Antillia from the Atlantis. She convinces the smitten Demetrios to take her back. Well, doesn't turn out well for him as he's then enslaved. The usual ensues, with some pretty good plot development and great special effects and scenery. OK viewing.
