Synopsis
Jules Verne's epic masterpiece of science and imagination, this is the story of a secret expedition beneath the earth's surface, down through geologic space and time to an imagined subterranean world. In the spring of 1863, Professor Otto Lidenbrock and his nephew Axel, guided by Hans Bjelke, an Icelandic eider hunter, travel across Iceland and then through an extinct crater toward a sunless sea where they enter a living past and are confronted with the origins of man.
