Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze

Doc Savage The Man of Bronze is a 1975 American action film starring Ron Ely as pulp hero Doc Savage. This was the last film completed by pioneering science fiction producer George Pal. It was directed by Michael Anderson, who had previously directed another bigbudget adventure film, Around the World in 80 Days.

Waiting for Doc Savages arrival is the international criminal and smuggler Captain Seas Paul Wexler who repeatedly attempts to kill Doc and his friends, culminating in a wild melee onboard his yacht, the Seven Seas. Meanwhile, Docs investigation uncovers that, years ago, Professor Savage received a vast land grant in the unexplored interior of Hidalgo from the Quetzamal, a Mayan tribe that disappeared 500 years ago. However, Don Rubio Gorro Bob Corso of the local government informs Doc that all records to the land transaction are missing. Doc receives unexpected help from Gorros assistant, Mona Flores Pamela Hensley, who saw the original papers and offers to lead Doc and his friends to the land claim.Following clues left by his father, Doc and his friends locate the hidden entrance into a valley where the lost Quetzamal tribe lives. Doc separates from the group and finds a pool of molten gold. Doc also learns that Captain Seas is using the Quetzamal natives as slave labor to extract the gold for himself. Meanwhile, Seas men capture Mona and The Fabulous Five, and Seas unleashes the Green Death, the same airborne plague that killed Docs father and keeps the Quetzamal tribe under his control. Doc overpowers the Captain after a protracted clash of different fighting styles and forces Seas to release his friends, whom Doc then treats with a special antidote. Seeing their leader captured, the Captains men try to escape with the gold, but exploding dynamite causes the pool of gold to erupt, covering the henchmen, including Don Rubio Gorro, in molten metal. Freed from Captain Seas, Chief Chaac Victor Millan offers the gold and land grant to Doc, who replies, I promise to continue my fathers work ... his ideals. With this limitless wealth at my disposal, I shall be able to devote my life to the cause of justice. ........
