Based on the hit 1961 film, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was the first creation from writer/producer/Irwin Allen, who also went on to become famous for the disaster film genre like 1972's The Towerno Inferno -- earning the nickname "The Master of Disaster" . The premise of the series revolves around the crew of the Seaview submarine investigating the mysteries of nature and fighting forces that threatens the fate of all humanity. ***

The show's fourth and final season (shown in color) has been spilt into two parts on DVD -- with the first 13 episodes being released as Volume 1. Season four starts with the crew still in the 1980s, with Victor Jory playing a 5,000 year-old alchemist. Other missions include Admiral Nelson (Richard Basehart) being haunted by the curse of the Flying Dutchman, the crew's attempts to stop a large underwater magnet drawing the moon to Earth, and a man from the future sending two androids to kidnap the Admiral -- adding him to his list of collections of military figures from the past. ***
