Quote context

- The ditch! The ring of flames! Closer, now! Only a little further!

- It seemed we had waited for hours, when all at once, through the blazing ring around us, an apparition hurtled and fell full length on the ground.

Top rated lines from this movie

Yes, it was right that it should be like this. But now there was no more time for thought... only action.

Ten miles long, two miles wide... ants, nothing but ants! And each one as big as your thumb and each of them a fiend from hell.
