About
Jules Verne's classic adventure follows Professor Aronnax, his assistant Conseil, and harpooner Ned Land as they discover the mysterious submarine Nautilus and are carried on an extraordinary journey through the depths of the world's oceans by the enigmatic Captain Nemo.
Episodes
1. The Sea Monster and the Nautilus
Professor Aronnax joins a naval expedition to hunt a mysterious sea creature terrorizing ships across the world's oceans — and discovers something far more extraordinary than any animal.
2. Walking on the Ocean Floor
Captain Nemo leads Aronnax and Conseil on an extraordinary walk through an underwater forest, while Ned Land grows restless and the Nautilus passes a fresh shipwreck and the hidden grave of a famous lost expedition.
3. The Coral Kingdom
The Nautilus navigates treacherous reefs off Papua, where a brief shore leave ends in a hostile encounter with islanders — and back aboard, a crew member's death leads to a haunting burial in a coral forest on the seafloor.
4. The Arabian Tunnel
Nemo saves a pearl diver from a shark attack with his bare hands, then reveals a secret underwater passage connecting the Red Sea to the Mediterranean — and in a sunken Spanish treasure bay, explains who he really is.
5. The South Pole
Nemo leads Aronnax through the ruins of Atlantis on the Atlantic seafloor, then pushes the Nautilus south through polar ice to achieve the impossible — reaching the South Pole and planting his flag at the bottom of the world.
6. The Maelstrom
As Nemo grows darker and more dangerous, Aronnax, Ned Land, and Conseil seize their chance to escape during a catastrophic storm off Norway — and wake on shore with no memory of how they survived, and no sign of the Nautilus.
