Flight of the Lost Balloon is a 1961 film produced, written and directed by Nathan Juran that was filmed in Puerto Rico.[1] It stars Mala Powers and Marshall Thompson[2] with the working title being Cleopatra and the Cyclops.[3]

The film was inspired by Jules Verne's Five Weeks in a Balloon and beat the major Irwin Allen film release of the book to the cinemas.[4] However the name of Jules Verne was dropped and was nowhere to be found in the credits, though the name of Verne's balloon, the Victoria, remained.

As a promotional gimmick people who bought tickets for the film were given a "motion sickness pill".[5]
