No Arks (1969)
 

Synopsis

Warning: screenonline full synopses contain 'spoilers' which give away key plot points. Don't read on if you don't want to know the ending!

After God tells Noah of an impending flood, Noah builds a gigantic ark, into which he takes his family and domestic animals.

He is then besieged by other animals demanding a place on the ark, and reasons that it, after the flood, he is to be the master of the world, then he should have something to be master of. Accordingly, he takes on pairs of all the animals.

The flood waters rise (drowning the dinosaurs in the process), and Noah floats safely in the ark, reflecting on the time when his righteousness will be rewarded. But another ark appears on the horizon. Noah and his Oriental counterpart confront each other, and a war ensues. The two arks sink.
