Summary
Follow Professor Challenger as he and a crew of curious explorers embark on an expedition in search of a mythical, prehistoric plateau in South America. Along for the adventure are eminent scientist Summerlee, sportsman Sir John Roxton, journalist Ed Malone and Paula White, whose father disappeared on the same plateau. The party is not there long before the "lost world" of the jungle begins to reveal its secret: a primitive ape-man, a Pterodactyl flying through the air, a massive Brontosaurus feeding upon the trees, the vicious Allosaurus, and many more monstrous beasts of the Jurassic age.
