A mission to rid the seas of a monster becomes a nightmare for Professor Aronnax, Conseil and harpooner Ned Land when they become prisoners of the 'monster' itself—a spectacular submarine ship commanded by Captain Nemo. But the marvels of their underwater journey soon distract them from their worries—the Professor, at least, wouldn't have missed this voyage for the world!
