- Synopsis:
- From Irwin Allen, the master of fantasy adventures comes this upbeat comedy based on Jules Verne's wildly popular novel. A crew of unlikely associates, including a nineteenth-century explorer (Sir Cedric Hardwicke), his assistant (Fabian), a troublesome reporter (Red Buttons), an absentminded professor (Richard Haydn), and a liberated schoolteacher (Barbara Eden), undertake a balloon expedition in uncharted African territory. Hoping to plant a flag for the British Empire, this mismatched group must weather storms, hostile slave traders, sneezing sultans and, worst of all, each other!
