Plot

Set during the American civil war (just), a group of men and women find themselves stranded (Robinson Crusoe-style) on an uncharted island populated by a plethora of larger than life beasties, their only hope of escape the enigmatic and elusive peacenik, Captain Nemo. Based on a Jules Verne adventure, Mysterious Island is classic Harryhausen territory, great fun, dire dialogue and inspired stop go animation.
