Dr. Abner Perry, a Victorian period scientist (Cushing), and his American financier David Innes (McClure) make a test run of their Iron Mole drilling machine in a Welsh mountain, but end up in a strange underground labyrinth ruled by a species of giant telepathic flying-reptile, and full of prehistoric monsters and cavemen. They are captured by the Mahars, intelligent, flying reptiles that keep primitive humans as their slaves through mind control. David falls for the beautiful slave girl Princess Dia, but when she is chosen as a sacrificial victim in the Mahar city, David must organize the humans to rebellion to save her. |||| This is the second sci-fi adventure based on a novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first being 1975's The Land That Time Forgot. At The Earth's Core stars Doug McClure as explorer David Innes and Peter Cushing as professor Abner Perry, whose experimental "iron core" drill goes out of control and leads them to the underground kingdom of Pellucidar, where the Wing People are ruled by the monstrous, flying Mahars. With the help of the professor, Innes leads the Wing People in revolt against their evil masters. Monsters and mayhem abound in what is essentially a well-produced, if somewhat juvenile, knockoff of The Time Machine.
