Mysterious Island

“A world beyond imagination! Adventure beyond belief!”

Captain Cyrus Harding (Michael Craig) is a Union prisoner in the Civil War, and he escapes with a few fellow captives by stealing a balloon. A storm carries them to an island in the South Pacific, where the plants and animals have grown to enormous size. Cy Endfield sends Harding and his men out to find food and shelter, and the balloon's basket lies empty on the sand.
