THE STORY
This is the second of three sci-fi adventures based on novels by Edgar
Rice Burroughs, the first being 1975's The Land That Time Forgot
and the third being The People That Time Forgot.
A Victorian scientist -- Dr. Abner Perry (Peter Cushing) -- and his
young American backer -- David Innes (Doug McClure) -- set off in their
new earth-boring machine for a short test on a Welsh mountain. Unfortunately
the thing tunnels out of control at ferocious speed and they end up in
an enormous cavern at the centre of the earth -- the twilight world
of pellucidar. Here they find prehistoric monsters, man-eating plants and
cavemen enslaved to the Meyhas (Mahars) -- evil psychic, pterodactyl-type
creatures with extra-sensory abilities. They are captured, and taken to
the Meyhas' underground empire. They then set out to free the slaves and
themselves from the evil that has dominated this underground realm for
untold generations.
