Can we lure you with some good-old science-fiction series a la Western? Just in case you got round eyes, yes, we mean it! Here comes a vintage sci-fi cinema creation, a 12-chapter Mascot serial “Phantom Empire.” Western, science-fiction, and musical – these are the ensemble of genres that add a unique flavour to this movie serial.
First, the action takes you under the sea to the sunken continent of Mu, where a small group of its inhabitants managed to survive and hid in the caves. Then, you are witnessing Gene Autry, a cowboy singer, discovering this civilization right beneath his property, Radio Ranch. Mr. Autry is shocked to see the well-developed technology of the Muranians, who had been using television and ray guns centuries before the humans invented them. But this is not the only area of interest concerning this civilization. The Muranian caverns are rich in radium, which draws the attention of the slippery speculators from above. The entire entity is put at a risk of being annihilated, so our hero needs to cover a couple of issues, which are to neutralize the emerging conflict and keep up with his amazing radio show. Now, go to our free online channel “The Elusive Empire” and learn the rest of the story!
