The Lost World is a 1925 American science-fiction giant monster film, and the film adaptation of the eponymous Arthur Conan Doyle's novel. The Lost World is a silent film with English intertitles. The film was produced and distributed by First National Pictures. It was released to American theaters on February 2, 1925.
One of the first dinosaur movies and one of the first giant monster movies, The Lost World was made eight years before its direct successor, King Kong. It is also the first film with a giant monster destroying buildings. The film inspired some of the most popular movies in the genre, such as the original King Kong and the film adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel Jurassic Park. It started a long era of dinosaur movies in the 20th century. The film was recognized one of the greatest movies of all time and entered the public domain in the United States in 1998.

First half to be added.
At their camp on the plateau during the night, the researchers witness an Allosaurus attack and kill a Trachodon, the corpse of which falls into a nearby bog. The Allosaurus feasts on it and then fights a Triceratops, protecting its young, but retreats after it stabs the Allosaurus with its horns. The Allosaurus wanders into the camp where the researchers are, but is repelled by guns and Ed throwing a torch into its mouth. It retreats to fight an Agathaumas, which kills it by goring it with its horns. The Agathaumas is, however, killed shortly afterward by a Tyrannosaurus rex, which also kills a Pteranodon flying nearby.
