Narrator:
Lost in the Devil's Triangle, trapped in a dimension with beings from the future and other worlds, a party of adventurers journey through zones of time back to their own time. Varian, a man from the 23rd century, possessing awesome powers; from 1977; Fred, a young doctor just out of medical school; Scott Jordan, the thirteen-year-old son of a famous scientist; Liana, daughter of an Atlantean father and an extraterrestrial mother; and Jonathan Willaway, a rebel scientist from the 1960s. Together they face the frightening unknown on... The Fantastic Journey.

Dr. Jonathan Willoway:
Volcanoes do not make deals!

Professor Paul Jordan:
I know that you are safe with Varian and Fred. [Paul in his farewell letter to his son Scott]

Dr. Jonathan Willaway:
Rachel, I thought I told you to be quiet about the swamp.

Rachel:
But she was so concerned about her friends.

Dr. Jonathan Willaway:
Make no mistake about this. If you ever mention the swamp to anyone ever again, I will take you apart.

Varian:
The Arawaks tell about a time zone, lies far to the rising sun;

Varian:
and there, they say, that any man could find a doorway back to his own time.

Varian:
In Earth year 2230, I was a musician, and my work was very important to me because in my century musicians do nearly all the healing.

Varian:
We use music to relieve pain, to restore harmony and balance to the mind, to the emotions.

Varian:
In 2230 man on Earth has unlimited resources because he's tapped the greatest resource of all, which is his mind.

Varian:
Our machines are efficient, and silent.

Varian:
And our cities are built miles high so that the land outside is free to grow and sustain wildlife.

Varian:
The five races have melded into one.

Varian:
There's no more war, and no more countries;

Varian:
it's just Earth.

Varian:
We're productive, non-aggressive people.

Varian:
We waste nothing: time, imagination, energy, effort.

Varian:
Because we believe that these things are the very essence of life.

Rhea:
The sensations please you? [Rhea to Varian, Fred and Scott, responding to their expressing they are actively experiencing olfactory and gustatory memories upon their arrival in Atlantium]
