Kino Lorber have revealed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of William Witney's
Master of the World (1961), starring Vincent Price, Charles Bronson, Henry Hull, David Frankham, and Vito Scotti. The release will be available for purchase on August 31.
Description: A mad inventor known only as Robur (Price) kidnaps a team on a government expedition to investigate a mysterious crater in Pennsylvania. The team is taken aboard Robur's fantastically engineered airship, the "Albatross," which Robur plans to fly around the world to various military installations in his desperate desire to eradicate weapons of mass destruction, thereby bringing about world peace. The kidnapped team's leader, John Strock (Charles Bronson, Mr. Majestyk, Breakheart Pass), responds by planning an uprising. Henry Hull (Lifeboat), Mary Webster (The Tin Star) and David Frankham (Tales of Terror) co-star in this astonishing airborne adventure scripted by Richard Matheson (The Last Man on Earth) from the classic Jules Verne novels Robur the Conqueror and Master of the World.
