Atlas in the Land of the Cyclops (Italian: Maciste nella terra dei ciclopi) is a 1961 Italian Gothic horror film[2] starring Gordon Mitchell and Chelo Alonso.
Queen Capys is doomed to a life of slavery by the Powers of Darkness until the last descendant of Ulysses is put to death to please the Cyclops. This is almost accomplished in a raid on a village by the Queen's soldiers where a descendant of Ulysses is killed and his wife enslaved; however, their infant son is taken away to be protected by Maciste.
Atlas Against the Cyclops was released in Italy on March 29, 1961 with a 90-minute running time.[1] It was released in the United States on April 14, 1963 with a 100-minute running time.[1]
