England around the turn of the 20th Century. Dr Abner Perry unveils his invention – The Iron Mole, a giant vehicle designed for exploring the centre of the Earth by drilling through the ground. He and engineer David Innes take the Mole on its maiden voyage but it goes out of control and they lose consciousness. When they come around, they find that the Mole has ended up in a strange prehistoric land at the Earth’s core, which they later learn is called Pellucidar. They are captured by The Mahars, intelligent, telepathic flying reptiles that keep primitive humans as their slaves via mind control. David falls for the beautiful slave girl Dia. When Dia is chosen as a sacrificial victim in the Mahar city, David must inspire the humans to rebellion in order to save her.
