Beyond Atlantis is a 1973 American-Filipino science fiction horror film directed by Eddie Romero, written by Charles Johnson, based on a story by Stephanie Rothman, and starring Patrick Wayne and John Ashley.[2]

The film was described by cult filmmaker David DeCoteau as "one of the very few family-oriented B movies to come out of the Philippines";[3] this was due to star Wayne's insistence that the film be accessible to families.[4]
