Unterwegs nach Atlantis

At the end of the 19th century, German archaeologist Professor Bohmann is searching for the remains of the legendary island Atlantis. But he is not the only one who is trailing the myth. His adversary, the British scientist Sir Grey claims to have already found Atlantis. In different masks and guises, he sets cunning traps to keep off his adversary from finding Atlantis.

Directed by Siegfried Kühn, Unterwegs nach Atlantis leans on a strong ensemble — Carl Heinz Choynski, Rolf Hoppe, Fritz Marquardt — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1977.
