What a great, old movie!  Nothing better than a good adventure movie and I'd say this is a classic, I remember seeing this many, many years ago and am really happy that I ran across it again, after all these years. For the time, I'd say the special effects were excellent! While we all know that Krakatoa was really way, way more than portrayed here, it doesn't matter because that wasn't the theme of the movie and besides, it was just a great, old movie and fun to watch! They just don't make movies like this gem anymore .. thank you soo much for sharing it!

I learned years ago, Nobody's coming to help ! We must help ourselves.  I was fully off-grid before i bought this place and have been off-grid now again for almost 30 yrs. 
I went threw an icestorm and a tree took out my powerline that the main box was connected to my two story house. It took out my entire end wall 😮, cracking my house open to the elements !😳 No wood heat, nothing but propain oven and water collection system.*Proper  Clothing" was the key. Fema wasn't helping a single disabled woman, i was ignored.Now i have a wood stove, water collection, propain stove but i cook alot on my woodstove too ! Remember the Clothing and dont cheat yourself on cheap blankets. I have a down blanket, its the best !

Actual name of this movie is "Krakatoa, East of Java" and a few years later named "Volcano".

Great movie. One interesting thing to me was how much this type of movie inadvertently trained Americans in relationship dynamics. The central theme was the protagonist Laura Travis leaving her husband, abandoning her child to be with the super handsome Captain Hanson. And then of course it all works out in the end with everyone risking their lives to reunite mother and son... who she had just abandoned, and she's portrayed as a great mother and hero for saving her son. And the son's father is killed so mom can have her perfect life with the perfect captain. And we don't even notice we're being trained to view this as a "great love story". Leave your husband, abandon your son, just do what you want. In the following decades after this theme was hammered over and over in the 1960's and beyond movies we saw marriage rates drop, divorce increase, more single mothers, lowering happiness, increased loneliness and we can't figure why.

Not blaming Hollywood. They just created stories we wanted to hear. Call it unintentional propaganda. It was a cheap and easy storyline to create drama after years of "Ozzie and Harriet", "Leave it to Beaver", etc... But it seems we seriously shot our collective selves in the foot. Great viewing though.

Saw this in a $.25 movie house with my girlfriend in early 70s before being shipped off to Vietnam, don't remember much of the movie 😘, never saw her again.  I do love these old films they remind me of simpler times.

@abc1234def5678

What an amazing movie! It kept me spellbound all through. Such wanderful real life pictures are not made any more. What spectacular special effects in such old times! Unbelievable.

@richardw8612

this is an old film and as such cannot be compared to today's standards. film making was a lot different and people who say the film is dull, badly written or point out flaws do not understand film making. it is why films like this are not made anymore as they do not rely on cgi, constant explosions and fight scenes to sell the story.

Krakatoa, East of Java, as others have mentioned, is a 1968 American disaster film starring Maximilian Schell and Brian Keith. During the 1970s, the film was re-released under the title Volcano. The story is loosely based on events surrounding the 1883 eruption of the volcano on the island of Krakatoa, with the characters engaged in the recovery of a cargo of pearls from a shipwreck perilously close to the volcano. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Special Visual Effects. (Wikipedia)

Great movie! I love how Capitan Chris kept his cool throughout every situation. He was compassionate, collected and in charge every second.

@karinkissinger5106

@obesetuna3164

A good old fashioned adventure movie.  Worth watching.

@oddsteinardybvad-raneng

This is the second time I have watched this great movie, and it is still as awesome as the first time I saw it. However, there was another one made in black & white, possibly in the 1930s, that I saw many years before I saw this one the first time. It has a similar story except that they must land on the island where the nuns are taking the school children (or it may have been mission children) over a mountain to protect them from the Krakatoa outfall from memory. It also was a great movie. Thank you for posting.

@kwd3109

I remember seeing this when I was 10 years old. It was fun and exciting to watch. As a school boy my friends would go up to other kids in the school yard and ask "Do you know what's east of Java?"  If they didn't know, they would yell Krakatoa!, and try to stomp on their toes.

@bulldog03leatherneck91

Thank you for this upload of such a magnificent classic. Kept me glued to my seat 😂 great actors some have gone to a better life. Thank you I'm  enjoying the matinee.

@brucknerian9664

Movie is titled:  "Krakatoa, East of Java."  Though it's really west of Java--one of my favourite all time movies.  Get the book "Krakatoa" by Winchester; great read, all about the 1883 eruption.
