Maybe the movie was released in wrong era. It would have been a blockbuster hit, if similar concept movie releases now.
It was one of the most expensive movie of the time,with Hollywood stunt director used.
It was one...
more... of the first movies that used special effects from Hollywood.just read the credits carefully and you will notice that.
