Comment
In 20,000 BC Atlantis is ruled by a megalomaniac wanting to create immortality and beleiving science is the answer to everything but a muscle bound outsider challenges his control of the population and subverts his wife and daughter. This is part of the 1960 Italian Sci-Fi/horror genre and is in many ways typical of that genre. In many ways it is bad (poor acting, poor dubing, bad scenery, bad effects and poor fight scenes) but has a sense of fantasy meeting science, of people meeting power. If you have managed to find this to watch you probably know what to expect.
