''(The) '''Lost Continent''''' is a 1951 [[B-Movie]] produced by Robert Lippert, starring Cesar Romero and Hugh Beaumont. Starting out as a fairly straight-forward, Cold War era military film, it quickly switches into a "lost in the jungle" romp, then segues into an interminable "rock climbing" sequence before ultimately transmogrifying into a dinosaur film.
Scientists and military men are testing the guidance systems of an experimental atomic rocket; said guidance systems fail and the rocket vanishes somewhere in the South Pacific. An expedition, led by one Major Joe Nolan and including the project's three key scientists, is dispatched to retrieve it before the [[Dirty Commies|Russians]] can get their hands on it.

Robert Lippert was also an uncredited producer for the 1958 classic ''[[The Fly]]''.
