The big screen adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' (Tarzan) 1918 novel The Land That Time Forgot features the talents of Doug McClure (TV's The Virginian, Maverick, The People That Time Forgot, At the Earth's Core), John McEnery (Nicholas and Alexandra, Romeo and Juliet, Bartleby), and Susan Penhaligon (TV's Count Dracula, TV's A Fine Romance, The Confessional, Patrick) under the direction of Kevin Connor (TV's Frankenstein, Motel Hell, TV's Great Expectations). During World War I, the survivors of a British ship torpedoed by a German U-Boat are forced into an uneasy alliance with their captors when the submarine goes off course into uncharted waters where they unwittingly discover the strange new world of Caprona, a mysterious island inhabited by deadly dinosaurs, fearsome sea monsters, soaring pterodactyls, and marauding tribes of primitive humans. Keith Barron (TV's Doctor Who, TV's Telford's Change), Anthony Ainley (TV's Nicholas Nickleby), Godfrey James (TV's The Aphrodite Inheritance), and Bobby Parr (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) round out the cast.
