Fantastic Voyage (1966)
Fantastic Voyage is an American science fiction adventure film directed by RICHARD FLEISCHER and written by Harry Kleiner, based on a story by Otto Klement and JEROME BIXBY. In adapting the story for his script, Kleiner abandoned all but the concept of miniaturization and added a Cold War element. The film starred Stephen Boyd, RAQUEL WELCH, EDMOND O'BRIEN, DONALD PLEASENCE, and Arthur Kennedy. JAMES DOOHAN appeared, uncredited, as "Dr Sawyer".
A submarine crew shrunk to microscopic size and ventures into the body of an injured scientist to repair damage to his brain.
The movie inspired an animated television series of the same name. A novelisation by Isaac Asimov was published in 1966.
Fantastic Voyage was released in the UK on October 14, 1966 and its British television premiere was on December 30, 1972, on ITV (Tyne Tees).
