Description

Wanda’s famed archeologist father has been missing for years. Out of the blue, she receives an unexpected letter from her father’s colleague in Africa informing her that his disappearance is due to his presumed death after falling down a bottomless pit. Deciding to make the transcontinental journey in the hope of finding him alive, Wanda flies to Africa only to end up stumbling down the same pit as her father. Once at the bottom of the hole, she discovers that it’s the gateway to a lost subterranean civilization - Atlantis! Unfortunately, the Atlanteans don’t take too kindly to visitors from the Earth’s surface...

An intentionally absurd late 80s cable TV mainstay from Cannon Films, helmed by beloved cult filmmaker, Albert Pyun (Radioactive Dreams, Nemesis), ALIEN FROM L.A. stars actress and model, Kathy Ireland (The Player) in her breakout role, along with William R. Moses (TV’s JAG) and Linda Kerridge (Fade to Black). Vinegar Syndrome presents this wonderfully wacky sci-fi comedy on Blu-ray, newly restored in 2K.

    Great Release

    Not a ton of extras on this one, but for a Blu-ray scanned at 2K, you can't ask for much more.

    Quirky fun

    Twenty-five year old supermodel Ireland pretends to be a nerdy teenager with the craziest voice, falls down a hole and finds Atlantis, and then goes on the most 80s sci-fi adventure possible. Silly fun with a surprising amount of heart.

    Kathy Ireland!

    Just the proper amount of cheesy sci-fi adventure to remind me of TV from years ago. Kathy Ireland is the highlight, other acting comes off as stale.

    I admit to a certain nostalgia being the main draw to this wild and wacky tale of the hollow earth, but also, it’s a real blast!
