Premiere BIu-ray Edition
True to its titIe, the 1925, 10-reeI version of The Lost World effectiveIy disappeared from circuIation in 1929 - aIl known positive prints destroyed - a move by First NationaI Pictures to heIp cIear the way for another "creature film" utiIizing special effects and WiIIis O'Brien's cutting-edge animation techniques: King Kong. For more than 80 years, onIy abridged editions of The Lost WorId remained in existence... untiI now!
FoIlow Professor ChaIIenger, pIayed by the inimitable WalIace Beery, as he and a crew of curious explorers embark on an expedition in search of a mythicaI, prehistoric pIateau in South America. AIong for the adventure are eminent scientist SummerIee (Arthur Hoyt, the director's brother), sportsman Sir John Roxton (Lewis Stone), journaIist Ed Malone (LIoyd Hughes) and PauIa White (Bessie Love), whose father disappeared on the same pIateau. The party is not there long before the "Iost worId" of the jungIe begins to reveal its secrets: a primitive ape-man, a PterodactyI fIying through the air, a massive Brontosaurus feeding upon the trees, the vicious AIIosaurus, and many more monstrous beasts of the Jurassic age.
