Sailing to Baghdad after a narrow escape from the monster island of Colossa, the wedding plans of legendary hero Sinbad (Kerwin Mathews) and Princess Parisa (Kathryn Grant) are spoiled by the scheming sorcerer Sokurah (Torin Thatcher). In return for his previous help with the cyclops on Colossa, Sokurah demands that Sinbad retrieve a lamp he lost on the island. When Sinbad refuses, the conjurer shrinks Parisa, forcing the sailor and his crew back to the high seas in order to save her.

A winning combination of fantasy, adventure, and special effects that together appear immune to the expected deteriorations of age.

This probably will be a marvelous show for the kiddies, aided by exceptionally skillful animation and trick camerawork.

Ray Harryhausen’s stop motion model animation is the real star of this picture. Torin Thatcher is a credibile vilian. This was a favorite film from my childhood.

I fondly recall this popcorn feature from childhood & up to that point had never experienced a creature quite like the Cyclops on film before, courtesy of Ray Harryhousen. At that time he could be called, the Godfather of special effects & although other details in my memory bank are hazy now, I believe the storyline was involving as well. I am curious to visit this movie again some day just to see if this is the case.

One of my all time favourite classic fantasy adventure movies and trust me when I say I've seen them all. A great cast who all deliver memorable performances. Ray Harryhausens wonderful, timeless special effects are in full pomp. Great direction, editing, musical score and script. There's nothing that I don't love about this classic. This and its two true (Golden and Eye) sequels remain three of the films that I can endlessly re-watch and walk away with a huge smile on my face and happiness in my heart. I simply love the bones of it (them).

Overall, those seeking a classic adventure involving monsters, magic, and a mysterious island will undoubtedly enjoy this movie. It is a classic film which I found extremely enjoyable, mainly when it came to the use of practical effects, for which full credit goes to the legendary Ray Harryhausen.

Delightful sci-fi fantasy yarn about Arabia's fabled sailor proves that Ray HarryHousen was the king of action-adventure before Spielberg came to town. This is a delightful movie; tightly scripted; exciting with great set pieces and charming Gumby and Pokey claymation special effects; and a great story. This absolutely set the stage for Raiders of of the Lost Ark 23 years later. HarryHousen begat Spielberg, who begat Michael Bay and now the Marvel movies; and so on. A must-see for movie nerds into action adventure.
