“Beast From 20,000 Fathoms” (1953) – Science Unleashes The Beast
The Beast Unleashed in question is the unknown impact and power of the Atomic Bomb. It was on July 16th, 1945 that the United States detonated its first atomic bomb in a desert region near Alamogordo, New Mexico. This was a new weapon in the arsenal of US military forces. What destructive powers could be released by this furious weapon?
We get a partial answer to this conundrum in "Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" (1953). An atomic bomb is being tested in the Arctic Circle region. Its explosive power frees a frozen dinosaur embedded in ice. The creature is revived and finds an ocean route to New York City! There, havoc is naturally wrought as The Beast spreads death and destruction in its wake.
This movie is notable for allowing the talents of writer Ray Bradbury and stop motion animator Ray Harryhausen to share the screen.
Great Saturday afternoon fare!
