The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms is a black and white 1953 science fiction film directed by Eugène Lourié. The film is also known as Monster from Beneath the Sea, and is based on a short story by Ray Bradbury called The Fog Horn. The dinosaur skeleton in the museum sequence is artificial; it was obtained from storage at RKO Pictures where it had been constructed for Bringing up Baby
(1938).

Creature effects by Ray Harryhausen.

As a result of an arctic nuclear test, a carnivorous dinosaur thaws out of the ice and starts making its way down the east coast of North America. It arrives in New York where it manages to destroy most of Coney Island before finally being killed.
