Plot

In the lush, radiating heart of the South American rainforest, the genius yet conceited Dr. Alexander Thorkel establishes a clandestine laboratory, driven by the discovery of a precious deposit of radium by a former student. Thorkel's ambition charts a dangerous path that sees him experiment with the precarious science of miniaturization on unsuspecting creatures. This thirst for knowledge turns fatal when his pupil dares to question the moral implications of his work, triggering a terrifying response from Thorkel. As his eyesight deteriorates, the mad scientist calls upon the expertise of three other scientists, luring them through the treacherous Andean landscape with enigmatic promises of groundbreaking work. Among them is Steve Baker, a miner whose avarice is ignited by the radium's immense value. Despite Thorkel's dismissive demeanor and the chilling grip of his escalating megalomania, the team remains, their curiosity piqued and their pride stung. Their audacity, however, is met with a horrifying twist as they fall victim to Thorkel's unhinged experiments. Reduced to one-fifth of their size, they, along with an indigenous servant, become the doctor's human guinea pigs. Stranded in an unfamiliar miniature world, their situation verges on the hopeless. Yet, a glimmer of hope persists, found not in their diminutive stature but in the looming blindness of their tormentor, Dr. Thorkel. Their ultimate survival hinges on exploiting this Achilles heel and escaping the grasp of the mad doctor's twisted vision.
