help Fantastic Voyage FAQ
What is the mission inside the body in Fantastic Voyage?
A submarine crew is miniaturized and injected into a human body to remove a blood clot from the brain of scientist Jan Benes. The ticking-clock premise is that the crew can only stay miniaturized for a limited time.
Who directed Fantastic Voyage?
Fantastic Voyage was directed by Richard Fleischer. The 1966 film stars Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Edmond O'Brien, Donald Pleasence, and Arthur Kennedy.
Is Fantastic Voyage based on an Isaac Asimov novel?
The movie came first, and Isaac Asimov wrote a novelization tied to the film. Because the book appeared around the same period, people often assume the 1966 film adapted an Asimov original, but that is not the usual origin story.
Why is Fantastic Voyage remembered in sci-fi history?
It became one of the defining 1960s miniaturization sci-fi films because most of the action happens inside the human body. Its bloodstream, lung, heart, and brain sequences were major special-effects showcases for the period.
