Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis project was actually put together by two special effects men, Jack Rabin and Irving Block, who are listed as producers.
- GoofsThe "science" regarding the interior of the earth is wrong, and was known to be wrong at the time the movie was made. It does not get cooler the deeper one goes into the earth. A few feet below the surface the ground temperature is around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Going deeper from that depth the temperature goes up at a rate of approximately 1 degree Fahrenheit per 70 feet.
- Quotes
Andy Ostergaard: [Reflecting on the expedition's status deep beneath the Earth] You know once when I was working on the Holland Tunnel, I got cut off from my crew for ten hours. I felt this way then.

Featured review
A group of scientists drive an enclosed vehicle into an extinct volcano and then bore more than a thousand miles into the earth. They're searching for underground sanctuaries in case the surface of the earth becomes uninhabitable due to nuclear warfare. This is one of those low-budget, black-and-white films from the 50's that you want to laugh at it, and while it does have its share of bad dialog and cheesy special effects, there's an earnest, committed quality here which eventually overcomes most of the obvious faults. Viewers looking for cheap thrills will be disappointed.
