As they venture into the depths of the ocean, they encounter awe-inspiring wonders and face life-altering dilemmas.
With the seas plagued by rumors of a menacing sea monster, Aronnax’s curiosity leads him to join the U.S. Navy expedition in search of the elusive creature. But what they discover is far more extraordinary than they could ever imagine. Witness the revelation of the enigmatic Captain Nemo, a man whose past holds the key to understanding his motivations and the secrets of the ocean.
