影史经典默片，有史以来第一部怪兽科幻片，第一部带有定格动画的电影长片。 　　根据英国的阿瑟·柯南·道尔于1912年写下的科幻小说《失落的世界》改编。一群科学家在荒岛上发现了巨大的恐龙存活，费尽心思弄了一头到城市里，不料恐龙逃脱，大闹一通。 　　片中“栩栩如生”的恐龙与人类演员同 台共戏的场景令当时的观众和评论者叹为观止。该片大量的使用了蒙太奇拍摄。不论是故事情节还是特技都非常出色，后来的《金刚》受到了这部影片比较深的影响。

居住在英国伦敦的切伦杰教授（约翰·里斯-戴维斯 John Rhys-Davies 饰）是一位古生物研究专家，经过多年的钻研与探索，他发现原本被认为早已灭绝的恐龙仍然存在，而且就生活在非洲腹地某个角落。然而，他的研究却遭到死对头萨莫里教授（David Warner 饰）等人的嘲笑。为了证明自己的观点，他约上萨莫里以及报社实习记者爱德华·马龙（艾瑞克·麦柯马克 Eric McCormack 饰），一行数人共同前往神秘的非洲寻找那个失落的世界。 　　经过一番艰苦跋涉，他们终于见到那群上古的生物。但就在此时，危险不期而至，考察队被困在恐龙的世界，还被迫卷入部落的斗争中，他们的面前充满黑暗与艰险……

Lost Worlds takes viewers on a global exploration of the fascinating interconnectedness of all living things. Leap off the top of Angels Falls; the highest waterfall in the world, dive into active volcanoes and climb to the top of tropical rain forest to participate in the epic story of biodiversity and its profound importance to human life.

The boisterous, arrogant professor Challenger, a reputed biologist and anthropologist, dares the London Zoological Society to mount an expedition to verify his spectacular claim, without physical proof, that his previous expedition to the Amazonian basin found live dinosaurs. Apart from him and his 'socialite' counterpart, professor Summerlee, it consists of experienced discoverer Lord Roxbury, the young reporter Ed Malone -who got publicly struck down with Challenger's umbrella at his arrival- and Jennifer Holmes, Malone's news agency's boss's daughter, essentially as conditions for putting up the money. In Brazil they are joined by Jennifer's brother David and local 'guide' Manuel Gomez. They soon discover the dinosaurs are real and dangerous, like giant spiders, but loose their helicopter and thus are desperate for a way down from the isolated plateau. They learn Roxbury knew about the fate of Burton White, an explorer whose diary they find, thus presume to be dead, in search of diamonds, and confirmation of the local tribe being the lethal guardians of the plateau's secrets, but also get surprising help...

China - The Soul of the Dragon 　　The Wild Dragon's Heritage. The story begins more than 1,500 years before our current era on the banks of the Hwang Ho - or Yellow River and the Yang Tse Kiang or Blue River, whose formidable power has been feared and respected by men through the ages. To control them, the renowned emperor Quinshihuangdi, today regarded as the first man to unify the great land of China, installed highly sophisticated irrigation systems and dissuaded his people from resorting to prayers and rituals in their attempt to combat the rivers' demons. The discovery of Quinshihuangdi's tomb in 1974 revealed that this savior of a land subjected to the mighty rivers' whim was held in unbounded reverence: 8,000 individually crafted terracotta warriors stand guard over their king for eternity. 　　Egypt - The Way of Eternity 　　A Journey in the Nile Valley. For 3,000 years, from the construction of the first pyramid until the death of Cleopatra, Egypt was a land of prosperity; largely thanks to the River Nile. What is the story of the development of this impressive civilisation and its relationship with its principal source of life? How did the river valley evolve during Antiquity? Why did the Egyptians never fight against nature, preferring to draw their own life-force from its natural power? And what remains today of the riches and wealth that nature has offered to Egypt? Shaped and fashioned by the hand of man in his pursuit of modernity, against all odds, the Nile has finally been tamed. 　　The Indus - The Masters of the River 　　A Silent Civilisation. One of the most mysterious of these four civilisations is no doubt that which developed around the Indus, discovered only in 1920. Considered to be one of the world's most powerful rivers, the Indus has a flow rate twice as high as the Nile, and three times that of the Tigris and the Euphrates. Its geographical course enabled extensive communication to be developed and, at the same time, the rise of a prosperous civilisation, the Harappeans.What was the story of this recently discovered civilisation, and how can we explain its decline? 　　Mesopotamia - The Gardens of Babel 　　The Conquest of Two Rivers. Mesopotamia, or the country between two rivers, is the oldest civilisation to have flourished at the confluence of two rivers: the Tigris and the Euphrates. The Mesopotamians included various peoples, the Sumerians, the Babylonians, the Akkadians, who coexisted and succeeded one another, mixing and inter-relating in a Near East with a wide range of racial facets. These different peoples, who once lived along the banks of the two rivers, have left behind an archaeological heritage of inestimable value. How did they flourish in such a hostile environment? Where did their wealth come from? And how did this perfectly structured civilisation finally fade and disappear for ever?
