So, Jules Verne wrote 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, turns out, he wrote the story twice. On this occasion, the crazy captain has a flying boat instead.
Plot: When a US Government investigator hires an elderly munitions manufacturer, his daughter and his pain in the ass gentleman soon-to-be son-in-law, Charles Bronson must know he's in for a wild ride. Seems there's some kind of oddity happening in a large volcanic crater and Charlie wants to fly over in a balloon (the height of aviation technology- height- get it?!) and have a butchers. Upon nearing the crater, a series of missiles escape the hole and shoot down our adventurers. They survive, but are taken aboard a flying vessel capable of traversing the globe in all of 10 day days, pretty good for the late 1800's!
The fella in charge of the craft is a guy by the name of Captain Robur (Vincent Price- LEGEND!) and it's his mission (self-imposed) to threaten and if needs be, destroy various cities around the world in the hopes of ending warfare.
A very lofty goal (ha ha- I did it again, they just keep coming to me!) I think you'll agree.
Budget: $?
Gross: $?
Fun Fact: Written for the screen by Richard Matheson (I Am Legend).
