The People That Time Forgot is a 1977 fantasy/adventure film based on the novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs. It was the third and final film in a series of Burroughs adaptations produced by Britain's Amicus Productions, all directed by Kevin Connor. Like the other two titles, the film was distributed in the United States by American International Pictures.
The film is a direct sequel to The Land That Time Forgot, the surprise sleeper hit that initiated the series in 1975. The story follows a rescue expedition, led by Patrick Wayne in search of his friend, played by Doug McClure, who had vanished many years before. The expedition ends up in the same fantastic prehistoric land where dinosaurs and barbarian tribes of men coexist.
