Journey to the Center of the Earth

1993 · 90 min

A breezy, effects-driven underground adventure that plays like a stretched TV pilot, with odd creatures and a race for a mystical artifact.

Overview: This made-for-TV film version uses the title and general premise of Jules Verne's novel, but had its heroes carry out the journey in an earth-penetrating machine. A television series was supposed to follow, but was never produced. Cast includes John Neville, F. Murray Abraham and Kim Miyori.
How it feels: Whimsical, earnest, tense and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Exploration, survival, power, mystery
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
