This classic Capra film is about a small group of people who are kidnapped and taken to Shangri-La, the lost city in the Himalayas, where they are expected to live. Shangri-La is a utopia, where people live in peace and harmony, but why were they taken there? It's engaging and pleasant, the cast is nearly perfect and there's hardly a dull moment. Lost Horizon is truly a remarkable film!
