Special effects innovator Ray Harryhausen adds stop-motion to his bag of tricks, resulting in a near-classic. The evil magician Sokurah (Torin Thatcher) has put a spell on Sinbad's (Kerwin Mathews) beloved princess (Kathryn Grant), making her just a few inches tall. The spell can be broken by getting an eggshell from the giant, ferocious, two-headed bird Roc, who is on the island of Colossa. Sinbad must fight all sorts of creatures to reach his goal.
