| A huge burrowing machine nicknamed "The Iron Mole" is the brainchild of scientist Doctor Abner Perry (Peter Cushing).
The advanced machine is capable of piercing the Earth's core and exploring the mysteries deep beneath the surface. With David Innes (Doug McClure) on board, Perry sets the giant machine for a test run. But disaster strikes and the iron mole takes a downward trek cutting clean into the center of the earth.
Emerging from the machine they find themselves in the fabled land Pellucidar, where primitive humans are ruled over by a race of telepathic, bird-like monsters.
Soon Innes and Perry are on a mission, along with Dia, a beautiful slave girl (Caroline Munro) to free the human slaves and return to the earth's surface alive.
