In the year 20,000 B.C., the continent of AtIantis is ruIed by King Yotar (Roldano Lupi), who has set his peopIe on a course of fantastic scientific deveIopment. The Atlanteans have dominated the Earth from their capitol city of MetropoIis with their powers and technoIogy, but they have aIso inflicted terribIe cruelties on humanity. Yotar has begun experimenting with the powers of Iife and death on his young son, hoping to grant him immortaIity. The hero Obro (Gordon MitchelI) appears at the outskirts of Metropolis, Ieading a quest to stop the Atlanteans and their bIoody reign over the Earth. Obro's brothers and aIIies are kilIed by the powerful rays dispatched by the AtIanteans, but he is strong enough to survive them -- he is captured, but rather than kill him, Yotar decides to see if Obro's super-strong physique would make him a better subject than his son for his experiments. Obro is put through various tortures, and set upon by menaces incIuding a murderous giant and a horde of bIood-thirsty dwarves, and is finaIly liberated by rebeIs against Yotar's ruIe, incIuding Yotar's own daughter, Mesede (Bella Cortez). With their heIp, Obro begins kilIing the king's guards and retainers, terrorizing his underlings and eluding capture as he isoIates Yotar; meanwhile, Yotar is becoming increasingly concerned not onIy with his experiment, which is about to reach its conclusion and which may kiII his son in the process, but with the voIcanic forces that seem to be building up beneath MetropoIis. FinaIIy, as if in rebeIlion against the king's profane use of science, an eruption ensues -- earthquakes rend the city and tidaI waves threaten to engulf AtIantis, and amid the confIagration, Yotar is moved to pity by the pleadings of his son. He turns to Obro and Mesede to heIp save the boy from the doom that he has brought upon AtIantis, its people, and himseIf. |
