Lost Horizon

Directed by Frank Capra

With Ronald Colman, Jane Wyatt, Edward Everett Horton, John Howard and Thomas Mitchell

British diplomat Robert Conway and a small group of civilians crash-land in the Himalayas, where they are rescued by the inhabitants of the hidden, idyllic valley of Shangri-La. Protected by the mountains from the world outside, where the clouds of World War II are gathering, Shangri-La provides a seductive escape for the world-weary Conway.
