Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea chronicled the adventures of the world's first privately owned nuclear submarine, the SSRN Seaview. Designed by Admiral Harriman Nelson, she was a tool of oceanographic research for the Nelson Institute of Marine Research. Though the show is known for its few "monster" episodes, many plots were veiled commentaries of what was happening in the news. Such plotlines as nuclear doomsday, pollution of natural resources, foreign threat, and theft of American technology are all still relevant today.
Editor's Note
Admiral Nelson leads his crew on a scientific expedition to the North Pole in the new submarine Seaview. The journey becomes urgent when the Earth's radiation belts cause temperatures to rise suddenly. The Seaview crew must battle saboteurs and sea monsters to save the world.

Irwin Allen is pretty strong on the eye candy; it's fun to see the submarine tooling around in the ocean and to observe all the gadgetry aboard. He also knows how to keep the action going, especially towards the end when we have several crises occur at once. I just wish he would make certain concessions to reality. The central crisis is patently ridiculous; the Van Allen Belt is a radioactive belt that follows the magnetic field of the earth outside of its atmosphere; not only is it incapable of bursting into flames, but there's no oxygen to sustain it if it does...Also, the movie never varies its level of tension; the ending of the movie should be a lot more exciting than any other part of the movie, but it feels just like every other scene. So the end result is that I never really believe that the world really is in danger and I just don't feel the necessary suspense. And I'm also afraid that this is another movie that shouldn't have a romantic theme song, even if Frankie Avalon is in the cast. - Dave Sindelar
