Irwin Allen’s 1960 adaptation of The Lost World, based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel, set a template for sci-fi epics yet failed to include recognizable dinosaurs. The film follows Professor Challenger, who invites a group on an expedition to find living dinosaurs on a hidden plateau. Despite the film's charm and its influence on the genre, it lacks effective visual effects, instead using modern lizards with horns, rendering it inferior to its dinosaur-themed successors in visual storytelling.
The 1960 version of The Lost World contains no recognizable dinosaurs, which makes it a bizarre oddity in sci-fi cinema, unlike its subsequent counterparts.
The plot follows Professor Challenger, who claims to have discovered a hidden plateau where Jurassic creatures still exist, leading an ill-fated expedition.
