Starring Vincent Price and Charles Bronson Master of the World opens In Morgantown Pennsylvania in 1868; the local residents hear a booming voice coming from the local mountain, the Great Eyrie. John Strock from the Department of the Interior is tasked with findingout just what is happening there and approaches Philip Evans for the use of his balloon which would allow him to view the mountain from air. Accompanied by Evans fiancée Dorothy Prudent and her father, they come under attack from rockets fired from inside the mountain. They are soon the prisoners of Captain Robur, a pacifist who is in command of the Albatross, a 150 a foot-long airship. His mission in life is to stop all wars - even if he has to make war on nation states in order to achieve it. (101 Films)

I have respect for Vincent Price and Jules Verne, so even though this film is quite poor in terms of special effects - at times, that really stands out - the message brought by Verne's novel is portrayed quite well here. At least that makes Master of the World worth watching. But Price is traditionally good here, so there’s also that.
