Well it looks impressive Challenger...

but is it really going to work?

Oh ye of little faith.

You know Roxton the windmill is one of the oldest and most reliable ...

ways of harnessing the incredible energy of nature.

Mozart.

Electricity.

You're bloody brilliant Challenger.

Have I ever told you that?

Not as often as you should.

Does this mean we'll soon have electric light at the treehouse?

As soon as we finish that high voltage fence we started last year.

Finally a good night's sleep.

It looks like we're in for a storm.

Do you think this is strong enough to face the wind?

Small tropical storm's nothing.

What the hell is that?

The windmill's created a vortex.

I suggest everybody take cover immediately.

At the dawn of the last century...

a band of explorers searched for a prehistoric world...

driven by ambition...

secret desires...

a thirst for adventure...

and seeking the ultimate story...

they are befriended by an untamed beauty...

stranded in a strange and savage land...

Each day is a desperate search for a way out...

...of the Lost World

Everyone all right, Veronica, Challenger?

Yeah.

Some small tropical storm.

The storm, what happened to it?

Look there.

What is it?

The smoking bird of Rintah.

What is it?

Where the devil did that come from?

Roxton don't shoot it.

It's a gyroplane.

Who cares where it came from maybe it can take us home.

Don't you crash don't you dare crash.

I'll see you all back at the treehouse.

Thank you Rintah.

A day's journey into these mountains and I will hold your greatness.

Have you ever seen a machine like this?

Well in France during the war they were experimenting with...

one man open cockpit death trap, but this.

This is a real Helliplane, capable of vertical and horizontal motion

and controlled at that. This is extraordinary.

And beautiful.

Are you guys all right?

You couldn't relax around the pool like everybody else.

You have to charter a helicopter and go sightseeing.

Just be grateful we're still alive.

Tourists?

Dressed like clowns.

Sorry to drop in on your valley like this but a little engine trouble...

shouldn't take much to fix it.

Take as long as you like.

We'll give you a hand.

Thanks.

We were beginning to lose hope of ever being found.

What do you mean? How long have you been lost?

Longer than I care to think about.

Why what's the date today?

June 30th 2000.

Where is the nearest jack? I have to plug in and get on the net.

What year did you say it was?

Two thousand,

the new millennium.

How long have you been here?

Eighty years apparently.

I had a dream that I stand by the side of Rintah

and all those who serve me live in glory.

There is no Rintah...

it's just a hunk of metal on a stick.

Have you ever seen Rintah?

Or heard his voice?

No But Elab has.

Elab's talking garbage.

Is that so?

Yes, smoking birds a waste of time.

We should hunt for food women we can trade for weapons.

Lead the way.

Renegade must die.

Anyone else have something to say?

Then let's go...

the smoking bird of Rintah awaits.

Are you saying we've traveled back in time?

If you really are from the twenty first century.

Is this proof enough for you?

That's incredible.

Impossible.

Take a look at the aircraft and the clothes.

I know but how?

Don't you see the storm, the lightning; the explosion.

It's what Professor Einstein would call a tear in the space time continuum.

Just like a sci-fi film.

You people have just broken the time barrier.

Give me a break.

Where are we?

Who are you people?

I'm Professor George Challenger and these are my colleagues...

Lord John Roxton, Edward Malone and Marguerite Krux.

We left London a year ago in 1919.

Sweet.

No Rob it is not sweet and you, sir, are out of your mind...

you all are.

Now look we've got to get back to the hotel.

Hotel sounds nice lead the way.

I intent to.

What's that?

It's a telephone. Help will be here any minute.

What's the matter? Is the auto club busy the GPS not working?

I don't get it man. If this is 1920 where are we?

This is an uncharted land.

It's a museum of natural histories and ancient civilizations.

It's a place where dinosaurs still rule.

Dinosaurs bonus!

Oh Rob there are no dinosaurs.

Every inch of the world has been mapped by satellite.

Satellite?

Space craft that circle the earth taking pictures of everything.

Satellites just as Edward Hale predicted.

Well they must have missed a few places.

Sounds like raptors.

Don't panic stick together and head for those trees.

Mom! Dad!

Rob!

Where is he?

Rob!

Rob!

Me Tarzan you Jane.

Well it's nice to meet you Tarzan

but my name's Veronica.

Another stunt like that and you're going to be lunch.

So how do we get out of this nightmare?

Duplicate the conditions that brought you here.

Fix the windmill repair the helicopter and

hope we can generate another ball of lightning.

And what are the odds of that?

We're doomed.

I am open to other suggestions.

I have one.

Before we all start dashing about in time...

as exciting as that may be...

perhaps we should try for something a little less ambitious.

Such as?

Fix the helicopter and fly one of us off a plateau.

I can send help back for the rest of you

It's not a bad idea.

Except for the obvious choice of passenger.

Wait. Wait just a minute here what about us?

What if the helicopter gets lost or can't make it back here?

What if you get killed trying to break the time barrier?

You're the pilot Mr. Cooper...

what's your opinion?

I'd like to help you people ...

but were low on fuel so we don't have many options.

My first obligation is to my passengers.

To get them home safely.

That's fantastic.

Sure is.

I mean the moving pictures.

My father said it's the most incredible invention he'd ever seen.

Yeah well this is video even better.

Wanna try it?

What do I do?

Okay ...look at the screen and press this button.

Okay.

This is great! Do something.

Like what?

I don't know anything.

Okay how do I see it?

Press the rewind button right here and hit play.

Trouble getting out of bed?

Trouble understanding our priorities.

Tell me again why we're helping these people?

It's their helicopter for starters.

And it could be our only way of ever getting out of here.

Then we'll find another way.

A bird in the hand Roxton, remember.

Are you sure you never played this before?

It's a bit like throwing a discus.

Ah damn I'm baked.

Very tasty.

Baked raw raptors aren't fussy.

It's okay I've been keeping my eyes open.

I keep forgetting, this place is just so cool

Are you cold?

No, cool means great or amazing, like you being from 1920.

Or you, being from the future.

What is it?

It's too quiet.

Raptors?

Raptors make noise.

What was it?

A man.

What? There are other people here too?

Lots and not all of them are friendly.

Come on.

So what happened?

There was this blinding flash of light...

the instruments went dead and the engine almost quit...

which could've been fatal.

I mean these things aren't like airplanes man.

The engine stalls and they drop.

Yes of course

the greatest obstacle to the helicopter was creating enough

vertical lift for it to raise its own weight and...

Leonardo da Vinci knew that.

That's right but it took Igor Sikorsky...

to perfect vertical and forward flight.

A Russian.

No no and American immigrant ...in 1930.

Ten years from now. You remember I told Summerlee this would happen.

Since then it's been one leap in technology after another.

In 1969 we'll put a man on the moon.

These days, modern aircraft can pretty much fly themselves.

All controlled by a central electric brain?

That's right ... the computer

the greatest invention since the printing press.

What a world you live in.

Yeah maybe,

but it's nothing compared to breaking the time barrier.

Man you'd be famous beyond belief in the twenty first century.

A short visit would be fantastic I'm sure,

but to stay would be cheating destiny.

What? You'd rather stay here?

No, my future lies back in London

at the end of this great expedition when I

announce our incredible discoveries to the world.

That's funny I've never heard of you ...any of you.

But surely you must have learned of this expedition at school?

Read about it in books?

No not a word.

I'm sorry.

The pilot's never heard of us.

Never heard of us, never heard of the plateau,

never heard of live dinosaurs.

Do you think that means we never get out of here?

Isn't that obvious?

No, these people say this place doesn't even exist.

What do they know?

Don't worry Challenger ...

you'll not be denied your place in history.

Not while I'm alive.

Why take the risk?

What do you mean?

What are the chances of them breaking the time barrier?

Compared to our chances of flying out of here?

Marguerite.

It's the law of the jungle Roxton...

survival of the fittest.

This may be a jungle Marguerite but we are not savages.

Yes not all of us anyway.

You act like you don't care whether we get home are not.

All I am saying is it's better than Rob hanging out in the mall.

Look this is not a family picnic Barb.

We may be stuck here for the rest of our lives.

With you? I would rather die.

Someone better go after her.

Mrs. Dillon!

You're in a hurry.

I'm quite capable of taking care of myself thanks.

It took a self defense course back in Chicago.

I'm sure the raptors will be terrified.

Greetings neighbors, let's talk some business.

Tell your men to throw down their weapons or you get the first bullet.

Welcome to the party Mrs. Dillion.

You're quite the little savage.

It came from over there.

I'll go!

One more time drop your weapons.

An even trade, the woman for the smoking bird.

Your weapons or your life.

We do it your way...

the hard and ugly way.

Do all the women in the future fight like you.

More and more every day.

Mainly because there are fewer and fewer men like you.

I'll take that as a compliment.

That was more fun than a giant waterslide,

very gallant of you to break my fall.

My pleasure I'm sure.

What's going on?

Nothing's going on;

we slipped and fell.

What happened?

Seems like your mother had a little accident.

Need a hand?

I can manage.

Extremely well by the looks of it.

A woman of the future; quite a catch, very exotic.

And very married.

Not very happily from all appearances.

Trouble?

A band of scavengers, they're after the helicopter.

Better keep a guard on it.

Why would scavengers want a helicopter?

They'll worship it.

How's it going?

The fuel pump is partially blocked.

If I can get some of these instruments to work ...

we could be in business.

Have you ever seen a set of tools like this?

No nothing like it where I come from.

The wonders of the 21st century.

The more I consider it the more it peaks my scientific curiosity.

You're not thinking of abandoning the expedition are you,

cheating your destiny?

My opinion hasn't changed.

But it is possible my destiny does lie in the future.

If I was your enemy you'd be dead.

We have problems.

The smoking bird has been captured by the enemies of Rintah.

We don't stand a chance against their guns.

Not if we fight them in the open but Rintah has given me a plan.

We need a hostage.

All Phil ever thinks about work.

I don't know what he's gonna do if we don't get out of here.

At least you're all together

that's something.

I guess so.

Rob sure likes it here.

He's the reason we took this vacation in the first place.

Rob is very cool.

Sounds to me like he's been teaching use some modern slang.

It's nice to have a friend.

You and your husband should spend more time with him.

Awesome, this is totally out there.

My parents totally loved it here...

especially my father.

Your parents must be way cool, unlike mine.

They're not so bad.

Are you kidding?

Sometimes I think if I never see them again it will be too soon.

Hey, where are your parents?

I don't know.

They were only supposed to be gone a few hours but something happened.

And they never came back.

Never? How old were you?

Ten.

And you've never found out what happened?

Someday I will.

But if I ever had the chance to travel back in time...

I'd never let them out of my sight again.

Hey Mr. Bodyguard,

coming in?

Water's beautiful.

I have to give these palm fronds back to the windmill.

You can't leave me by myself.

It's dangerous out here.

I'll wait here.

I love a man with an iron will.

Yes.

Beautiful isn't it?

Incredible, do you know what this is worth?

Precisely it's never been appraised.

A diamond this size in the year two thousand this would go for millions.

That one belongs to Veronica.

But the plateau is filled with precious stones.

Unbelievable,

I've never seen stones this size before.

These are worth a fortune.

Enough to buy a ticket out of here?

But the chopper only holds four people.

That's unfortunate,

but which four?

Who do you propose we leave behind?

Well, your son seems to be having a good time.

But I'm sure he'll want to get back to his friends soon enough.

Barb on the other hand.

Barb would never agree to stay behind.

Are you sure about that?

Do you know where she is right now?

Where is she?

Last I saw.

Yes there she is.

Is she out of her mind?

Someone's cooking.

One hostage, just one hostage.

Rintah will guide us.

Hail Rintah!

Rintah!

He will lead us. Guide us.

Come on!

Praise thee to Rintah.

Well thank you kind sir.

Even if you were afraid to get your feet wet.

Oh I've seen the future more than that I can't imagine.

What happened this time; your bathing suit fall off?

I went for a swim.

Yeah, you were naked.

Oh you noticed, how amazing.

Where's your sense of decency and self respect?

Now wait just a minute here.

Stay out of this.

No, you stay out of it.

Why don't you go back to your precious little job in Chicago.

Rob and I can stay right here.

This is all your fault.

Barb! Barb!

Oh you're good, very very good.

There could be room for you too.

You go on up I'll go warn the others.

One sound and it's all over.

Where is this guy?

What's he gonna do to our son?

Try to trade him for the helicopter I would imagine.

That's what he really wants.

Oh my God what are we gonna do?

I'll find him.

I'll go with you.

We're coming to.

You better get back to the windmill to warn the others.

Be careful.

Oh you also, and fire two shots at the first sign of trouble.

I'll do the same.

Got it.

How about some water?

How about that?

You're a real comedian.

And you're alive because I'm going to trade you for the smoking bird.

That doesn't stop me roughing you up a little.

What are you going to do with a helicopter anyway?

The smoking bird is a gift to me from Rintah.

My men will carry it with pride.

Carry it? It's a helicopter ...it flies.

It can go up again?

Yeah like a bird up and down tweet tweet.

Laugh at me ...

I'll slit your throat. Do you understand?

Looks good better than the first one in fact.

Now all we need is a storm.

And the rest of the tourists.

The helicopter doesn't leave without them.

No of course not. Right Dave?

I bet you've got family back home.

But you don't mind missing the next storm do you?

Forget it Marguerite...

the helicopter leaves with exactly the same people it came here with.

Is that how you feel George?

Malone's right.

You're sure?

We'll talk again when the wind starts blowing.

It looks like they're heading back to where Rob and I saw them.

Just over that hill.

Why are we stopping?

Shhh listen.

Oh my God.

There he is.

Rintah sent the smoking bird to me.

The bird can fly and only I can fly it.

You need a pilot.

I need the smoking bird.

Hey, keep your head.

There are far too many for heroics.

But we've got guns.

And they'll kill your son long before we get to him.

We need a plan.

Are you worried about Veronica?

I am worried about all of them, aren't you?

No, if they were in trouble we would have heard.

Two gunshots remember.

As if they were close enough for us to hear them.

They'll be fine.

Looks like we're in luck.

How long are we supposed to wait?

Oh there'll be another storm.

When?

Don't your charts say we're headed out of...

the stormy season, it could be another year.

If this animal wanted to bargain for the chopper where is he?

I don't know.

Maybe they're all dead.

They're not dead.

The helicopter holds four; there's four of us.

You can't leave them here.

This could be the only chance...

we ever get to save ourselves.

Phil and I have to be in position before you and Barb make your move.

Right. Ready Barb?

Ready Phil?

Phil?

Where is he?

I'm the one you're looking for.

Damn fool.

Who are you?

I can show you how to fly the helicopter.

He doesn't know anything about flying helicopters.

He's just trying to save Rob.

Let the boy go free.

I'll take you anywhere you want to go.

Dad what are you doing? Run!

Family reunion, now I really have something to bargain with.

Thank you Rintah.

You okay?

Yeah you?

Yeah just stay in front of me.

I'll get us out of here in no time.

Gee dad I don't think they take credit cards.

Rob.

Don't leave home without it.

Is this a private conversation?

We were just talking about teaching you to fly.

Someone as smart as you could learn real fast.

To bad you can't.

Leave him alone.

Remember I only need one hostage dad.

Okay I need a couple of minutes.

You think you can keep his attention that long?

It will be my pleasure.

The wind is really picking up.

Remember how fast the last storm blew in. We better get going.

We?

That's right.

Well what's it gonna be George?

The dizzing heights of international fame in the next century...

or the forgotten man of nineteen twenty.

Now Marguerite.

What are your doing?

We're going to wait another hour.

An hour will be too late.

If we miss this storm.

Another hour Marguerite.

Hey over here!

Nice Dino.

Hey handsome,

how about you and I am wrestle for those hostages?

Thank you Rintah.

I win the hostages go free.

And when you lose?

Well then you'll have three hostages.

Come on dad.

Not so fast.

I'm telling you that was gun fire.

It was thunder.

It doesn't matter times up.

Coming George?

Marguerite you can't just abandon these people and steal their lives.

Looks like we're in for a storm.

I hope Challenger has everything ready to go. Are you ready?

I've been such a jerk.

You're not the only one.

Finally you agree on something.

Come on let's keep moving.

Come on let's go. Hurry up Rob.

Their not so bad.

Tell Roxton not to worry.

Marguerite don't do it.

You can't.

Goodbye Ned, goodbye Challenger.

Look! Stop!

They made it they're back.

Looks like we're just in time.

We were getting worried.

Looks like everybody made it I see.

One big happy family.

Thanks for being a man of honor.

Next time you may not get off so easily.

You better get going.

You take care of those cool movies.

What are you doing?

We're only going to get one chance we don't need it.

Well that's very generous of you.

Anyway it makes us a little bit lighter.

If we're less than half the fuel we started out with,

we may have room for one more person.

None of this would have been possible

if it wasn't for you Challenger.

Think what you could do in the twenty first century.

Don't worry about us Challenger.

If we find a way back we'll tell all what you've accomplished here.

And you'll find a way to come back and get us, right?

The lighter you are the better.

You'll need all the speed you can get when you see the lightning.

Stay in front of it and give it all you've got.

Good luck and God speed.

Do you really think we'll get back to the twenty first century?

Don't worry we'll get you home safely.

Dave's got it all under control.

You can count on me kid. Come on you old work horse.

Think they're going to make it?

There it is.

- We're not high enough. - Yes we are.

I can't believe we're doing this.

Hold on here we go.

Look!

- It's going to run us down. - No it won't.

We're not going to make it.

- Yes we will. - Yes we will.

Twenty first century here we come.

Mayday mayday mayday this is November two five hotel.

November two five hotel this is Caracas.

Where have you been?

Do you think they made it?

Oh I hope so.

They better not forget us.

Could have been on our way to a whole new future.

Instead we've got a tool box...

and a telephone that doesn't work.

Sorry guess I need some practice.

Hmmm preferably outside.

Cute totally useless.

Marguerite catch.

Good catch.

Any of you athletes want to give us a hand?

[phone ringing sound] Quiet quiet quiet

Shhh [phone ringing sound] what was that?

Did you hear something?
