Full Plot Details

An American photo-journalist accompanies two Japanese scientists in a bathysphere to study the Cromwell Current deep in the mid-Pacific Ocean. Suddenly, a volcano erupts at close hand. Shock waves from the vent tear the diving bell loose from its research ship. The three men are saved by a high-tech submarine, the Alpha. Unbelievably, its captain, Craig McKenzie, is more than 200 years old and the sub was launched in 1805. With the stranded research crew aboard, it heads for its home port in the underwater Utopian city, Latitude Zero. A rival 200-year-old scientist, Dr. Malic, sends his Black Shark sub after them. When he fails to destroy it before it reaches Latitude Zero's protective shell, he designs a plan to lure McKenzie out again. He captures Dr. Okada, a Japanese scientist bound for their Latitude Zero, to bait his trap. McKenzie must penetrate Malic's base on Blood Rock to free him and his daughter. Malic has a host of human/ animal hybrids waiting to greet the intruders.

Antagony & Ecstasy - 6/10 by Tim BraytonQuite a bit of fun, though I wouldn't care to predict how it would play to a viewer whose tolerance for whimsical idiocy is on the low side.
User Review - 8/10 by Tyler HStrange Japanese movie shot in English with some characters speaking English phonetically with odd pronunciations. Cesar Romero was a highlight, and that Mackenzie guy seemed a little..festive. Odd dialog and a mental Lion-bird left me feeling strange.
User Review - 8/10 by Jeremy GOne of the finest weird films of the 1960s. Joseph Cotten is the leader of Atlantis. Cesar Romero is the villain. Classic.
User Review - 8/10 by Simon LIt's bland for only being one thing, a showcase for a utopia but at the same time the film is fun and beautiful. I love the political messages thrown in, not as an afterthought but as an unspoken truth found in much of Ishiro Honda's work that makes him less of the art director than the blockbuster. Anyway, this film is great, cute and fun and corny with lots of slams on Americans done in subtle ways.
User Review - 8/10 by Caleb MLatitude Zero will blow you away. This film will take you places you've never been and show you things you've never dreamed! It's an amazing work with absolutely phenomenal special effects and a highly imaginative script. What other films have super-special submarines, jet packs, giant winged lions, brain transplants, secret organizations, Joseph Cotten, hot female doctors, and mad scientists, not to mention a host of other fantastic ideas, inventions and effects? This film has it all (except a scary sea monster, I would have enjoyed that)! Within the first five minutes you're already deep underwater, and within the first ten minutes one of the most beautiful explosions ever threatens to destroy our three heros! If you enjoy adventure, old special effects, or a bit of campy but imaginative and thoughtful science fiction, you absolutely must track down and watch Latitude Zero!
User Review - 8/10 by Blais ETypically goofball and action-packed Japanese sci-fi spectacular clearly inspired by Jules Verne, presented by Godzilla's parents, the Toho Company, featuring Joseph Cotten as the leader of a peaceful, underwater civilization as well as the inventor and captain of an enormous, tricked-out super-submarine with wacky 60's gadgetry aplenty. Enter Cesar Romero (In a typically hammy performance-) as Cotten's arch-nemesis, hell-bent on destroying the sub and peace-nik Cotten with a plethora of bizarre weaponry, and enlisting the aid of giant rats, insidious bat-people, and a flying lion to carry out his bidding. Highly imaginative and vastly entertaining in Toho's usual cookie-cutter cartoonish fashion.
User Review - 8/10 by Orlok WI hope Joseph Cotten was having fun, because I sure had fun watching this madness. A weird mix of Jules Verne and Gerry Anderson, filtered through Japan's Toho studio and then shot with some B list Hollywood actors. Somehow, it works. I love all the model work (Toho always was good with models), and the insane story. Cotten and Cesar Romero are so much fun to watch. Mad science. Technological Utopias. Neckerchiefs. This movie is so many different kinds of crazy you'd need a scholar with a lifetime to catalog them. Check it out.
User Review - 8/10 by Paul CIs this a good film; not particularly. Is it entertaining; you bet. While it is the last collaboration of Godzilla's Honda, Tsuburaya, Ifukube, it is filmed in English and stars such talents at Joseph Cotton and Caesar Romero. "Latitude Zero" is a goofy sci-fi adventure film that feels more like a movie serial from 1949 than a feature from 1969. (It was actually based off an old radio serial.) I would call it "campy", but it feels like all involved were playing it as straight as possible. Silly, cheesy, nonsensical, juvenile fare, but oh-so-fun.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael BA better then average japanese sf movie. As noted, they used many American actors and filmed it all in English. Story is a bit more inventive then you would expect, and the ending is a little strange. While most of the special effects are what you expect from japanese films of the time, the 'giant monster' outfits were a bit of letdown.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael Mdoes not live up to its full potential. Good special effects in places, but awful monster costumes. The colorful cast gives us either too much (Romero) or too little (Cotten). A rarity to see Toho actors speaking English without dubbing... but they are usually so heavily accented as to be and inaudible.
