When a scientific expedition travels down the Amazon River in search of fossils, they come across the legendary Black Lagoon. Of course, in that lagoon resides the prehistoric Gill-Man. The expedition captures the creature, but it escapes back into the lagoon. However, the lonely Gill-Man has also fallen in love with Kay, the fiancé of one of the members of the expedition, and it returns to kidnap her.

A rare 3D presentation of this famous Universal Monster Movie is sure to be an experience to remember. Creature from the Black Lagoon is also famous for being the first movie to use underwater 3D filming. The popularity of the film is evidenced by the two sequels it spawned.
