About this movie

It's 1868. A mad inventor – known only as Robur (Vincent Price) – kidnaps a team of four people on a government expedition to investigate a mysterious crater in Pennsylvania. The team is forced aboard Robur's fantastically engineered airship, the "Albatross," which Robur plans to fly around the world to various military installations in his desperate desire to eradicate weapons of mass destruction, thereby bringing about world peace. Meanwhile, the kidnapped team's leader, John Strock (Charles Bronson), has plans too...escape plans! But will the team survive long enough to flee? Henry Hull, Mary Webster and David Frankham co-star in this high-flying sci-fi spectacular scripted by Richard Matheson from the classic Jules Verne novels "Robur the Conqueror" and "Master of the World."
