City Beneath the Sea (1971)
From Irwin Allen! stars Stuart Whitman, Robert Colbert
There was a short presentation film made by Allen in 1969, starring Glenn Corbett, which was a slight variation of the eventual full-length TV movie; it took place in year 2068:
Besides the plot about the gold, another wild and crazy plot turn involves a 'neutron planetoid' heading for Earth. This planetoid is so massive ('3 million times as heavy as a normal planetoid'), it causes massive changes to Earth just by its near gravitational presence, yet when it will strike the ocean, everyone believes only the underwater city of Pacifica will be destroyed. The 2nd half of the film involves the evacuation of the city. This was released overseas as "One Hour to Doomsday." BoG's Score: 6 out of 10
Here is another look at that short film version in 1969 with Corbett, Lloyd Bochner and... James Brolin!:
