--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A friend asked me about this.. but I haven't a clue:

He says it wasn't one a the journey to the center of the earth movies...



What I remember in the movie is:

Showed on TV in the 90's


There was a team of two or three poeple who get in to a vechile that went in side a volcano to jounrey to the center of the earth. One of the members of the team was the father of the person who when looking for them went they didn't come back. The son rememberd that his father was wearing a gold ring.

While the son and his team were in the center of the earth they found caves and down below was lava

I remember towards the end of the movie the son finds his fathers ring but not his father. and is was like a futuristic movie



Thanks in advance for any info

Only thing that comes to mind is "Journey to the Center of the Earth" that was shown on USA with Treat Williams.

Much appreciated

Journey to the Center of the Earth (1993 TV movie)

IMDb review (edited):
The modern plot relates how university professor Harlech (Abraham) dreams of discovering enormous caverns beneath the surface by traveling into the shaft of an active volcano. However, after entering the nuclear-powered craft he has invented for such travel, it apparently explodes upon the first attempt to descend. His nephew carries on with the idea, forging an uncomfortable alliance with a wealthy industrialist to build a new, improved craft, which succeeds in arriving underground and conveying its passengers through mysterious domains. This builds on Edgar Rice Burroughs' "mole" concept to solve the most problematic notion of the Verne story for modern audiences~how explorers could walk to the Earth's center~by offering an outer space-style craft to expedite their journey while still pausing outside the ship for the encounters with early humans and primitive animals that Verne included.. .
Pollution threatens to render the surface uninhabitable, and the subterranean world offers the possibility of a new home for humankind. Horrific crawling manta-ray style monsters and a missing-link race of early man called troglodytes provide further danger. Also, there is a HAL-style onboard computer that not only has a personality but also a holographic face of its own. An evil Darth Vader-type creature, kept alive through artificial means, tries to thwart the explorers. A brief shot as he falls into the lava shows him wearing the same ring as the nephew gave Harlech before his apparent death, perhaps indicating Harlech was transformed. Both this creature and the expedition's scientist are trying to complete a lost computer chip puzzle that forms a book of knowledge from the time of Atlantis. A lovable Tibetan abominable snowman joins the group, which also includes stereotypical representatives
