Peter Cushing stars as Dr. Abner Perry, a Victorian scientist who has invented an enormous boring machine. Accompanied by his financial backer David Innes (Doug McClure), he undertakes an experiment that will take him deep into the Earth's crust. Unfortunately he doesn't know the strength of his own creation, and the machine carries them all the way to the enormous cavern at the center of the Earth. There, the scientists discover an incredible world populated by a prehistoric human race. The humans are ruled over by despotic, telepathic bird-monsters who use them for food and labor. The visitors decide to attempt to free the humans, while the charms of one slave in particular (Caroline Munro) do not go unremarked. (oficjalny tekst dystrybutora)

You have to give this film one thing, it managed to evoke something in me that no other film had before: I found Peter Cushing annoying. The experienced genre actor had already played so many roles of scientists and inventors that he probably thought how to spice things up this time with first-class goofing off. I would never have believed what a comfort would be the on-screen presence of Doug McClure, whose greatest acting asset otherwise is that he manages not to stare at Caroline Munro's cleavage. Otherwise, At the Earth's Core is classic sci-fi, with characters travelling to a colourful world where the inhabitants are suffering under the oppression of tyranny, only to be helped out of their fate. It’s something we’ve seen countless times, and here unfortunately, it’s not delivered in any interesting way. The money went to the sets and not to the script.
