Molepeople

An expedition to the center of the Earth discovers a subterranean civilization of mole-like people who have degenerated from surface dwellers. They are ruled by a powerful figure who keeps them in a state of fear and ignorance, but one young woman shows signs of rebellion and falls for a surface explorer. The film culminates in a struggle for survival as the surface team attempts to escape the dangers of the underworld.
