This Cold War era Sci-Fi (1959) has some merit, especially considering it was filmed in all of ten days.
Plot: Test pilot Major Bill Allison (Director & Star of The Hideous Sun Demon) is off to fly his new aeroplane past the speed barrier and beyond into the upper stratosphere...except, something goes array. His plane jumps the Time Barrier and ends up 70 years in the future, where his air force base is in ruins and a new civilization has popped up. Living below the Earth, the Major's rescuers are suffering from a cosmic plague that has rendered the majority of them deaf, mute and impotent (except our star keeps knocking on a girls door and expecting her to answer-dope), while the rest of the human race that bore the brunt of the cosmic rays have become bald and rather miffed (some excellent bald caps all around). So, Allison has to reverse course, stop the rays and save the world...will he make it? Wait 75 minutes and you'll get ya answer.
Budget: $125,000
Fun Fact: One of the mutants was the screen writer-Arthur C.Pierce. Any similarities with MGM's The Time Machine are entirely intentional.
