Vynález zkázy (The Fabulous World of Jules Verne) [Czech]

'Invention for Destruction' or 'The Fabulous World of Jules Verne' (Czech: Vynález zkázy) is a 1958 Czechoslovak black-and-white science fiction adventure film. As the world progresses into the industrial age, a professor studying the "nature of pure matter" is spirited away by a would-be dictator and connived into building a super-bomb, as a young reporter and a girl rescued from the sea attempt to warn him of their mutual kidnapper's intentions to dominate the world with a new and more-deadly-yet weapon. The film was distributed in North America by Warner Bros. Pictures in 1961 and was dubbed into English and retitled The Fabulous World of Jules Verne. It was distributed in 72 countries around the world, where it received widespread attention. It is considered the most successful Czech film ever made.
