Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The Lost City Synopsis
An evil scientist plots to take over the world from his base in Africa, where he has invented a machine that can cause earthquakes.
Under Northern Lights Synopsis
Douglas MacLeod of the Royal North West Mounted Police is in love with Suzanne Foucharde, who has adopted an abandoned Indian baby, the illegitimate child of Louis La Rocque and Na Fa Kowa. When La Rocque insinuates that the baby is Suzanne's, her brother Henry defends his sister's honor and kills the villain. In spite of his love for Suzanne, it is Douglas' duty to arrest Henry. He does so, but later allows him to escape, taking the bullet himself that was fired after Henry by Constable Burke. Meanwhile, the dead body of Na Fa Kowa is found, accompanied by a note proving that the Indian was the baby's mother. In the spring, when Douglas recovers from his wounds, he and Suzanne are married.
"The Lost City" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Under Northern Lights" offers its own unique cult appeal.
