He takes a hunter, a reporter and the daughter of another explorer who has gone missing. They find the plateau, the dinoosaurs and have a series of adventures. This is the first adaptation of the novel and for the time the monster are impressive. They were produced using stop motion technique. It is also the first time monster are unleashed in a city causing havoc and destruction.
