Fantastic Voyage (1966) In this science fiction drama, CIA agent Grant, and a group of scientists are shrunk down to microscopic size, then injected into the bloodstream of unconscious, former Iron Curtain scientist, Jan Benes, who was smuggled out to teach the west how to shrink soldiers for an indefinite period. Having only one hour to do so, this skilled group's mission is to remove a blood clot from Benes' brain, which will kill him, if they fail. Trouble lurks in this effort, however, as there is a traitor in the midst.Richard Fleischer, who also directed "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", keeps the action moving right along. Scientist, Raquel Welch, seems to have been born to wear a wet suit. The FX, particularly those inside the human body, are terrific! Donald Pleasence, as a traitor aboard the mini-sub, gives an overly obvious performance. The cast includes: Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Donald Pleasence, Arthur O'Connell, Edmond O'Brien, William Redfield, and Arthur Kennedy. Directed by Richard Fleischer.
