One sheet movie poster, Mysterious Island
is a 1961 science fiction adventure film directed by Cy Endfield and loosely based on the novel of the same name by Jules Verne. The movie features special effects by stop-motion master Ray Harryhausen. The film's musical score was composed by Bernard Herrmann.
The plot follows a group of Union prisoners who escape a Confederate prison camp during the American Civil War in a hot air balloon. They are stranded on a remote, uncharted island inhabited by giant animals and monsters, brought to life through Harryhausen's stop-motion animation. The castaways are joined by two shipwrecked women and eventually encounter Captain Nemo and his submarine, the Nautilus. The film is known for its classic adventure style and is considered a prime example of a Ray Harryhausen and Charles Schneer production. |
