Description

On a naval expedition to Antarctica, three men and reporter Maggie Hathaway crash-land in a crater 1000 m below sea level. There, they encounter steamy tropical forest, dinosaurs, carnivorous plants, and human footprints, as Maggie's clothes become more and more abbreviated. ------- Navy Commander Hal Roberts is assigned to lead an expedition to Little America in Antartica to investigate reports of a mysterious warm water inland lake discovered a decade earlier. His helicopter and its small party, including beautiful reporter Maggie Hathaway, is forced down into a volcanic crater by a fierce storm. They find themselves trapped in a lush tropical environment that has survived from the Mesozoic Era. Fighting carnivorous plants, dinosaurs, and a limited time window, they struggle to survive and repair the helicopter, their only means of escape. They are both helped and hindered by Dr. Carl Hunter, a megalomaniac survivor of an earlier expedition, who has learned to adapt to the hostile environment. ------- Four members of a major Antarctic expedition - including Navy Cmdr. Hal Roberts and reporter Maggie Hathaway - find themselves stranded in a remote - and prehistoric - area when their helicopter is forced to land inside a volcanic crater some 3,000 feet below sea level. They have to deal not only with the oppressive heat but also with prehistoric creature a various sorts. Another danger is a human: Dr. Carl Hunter, who has been stranded there for over 10 years. If they are to survive, they will need to repair the helicopter. Hunter may have a supply of spare parts but the price he demands may be too high.
