THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS
1953
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms is a 1953 science fiction giant monster film directed by Eugène Lourié, starring Paul Christian, Paula Raymond and Cecil Kellaway, and with visual effects by Ray Harryhausen. It was one of the first monster movies that helped inspire the following generation of creature features. Inspired by the successful 1952 re-release of KING KONG, it was the first film to feature a giant creature awakened or mutated by a Nuclear Bomb.
PLOT:
Atomic tests in the arctic release a prehistoric beast which has been trapped in the ice for millions of years. Soon the mysterious creature is wrecking havoc as it starts making its way down the east coast of North America , but sceptical scientists refuse to believe in the existence of such a thing. Then it emerges from the sea and lays waste to Manhattan Island...
