Features: In 1866, a giant monster believed to be a unicorn was discovered at sea. French biologist Aronnax accepts an invitation to join the hunt. During the pursuit, he accidentally falls into the water and swims to the back of the monster. It turns out that the monster is not a unicorn but a marvelously constructed submarine. Captain Nemo invites him on an underwater journey. They set sail from the Pacific, passing through coral islands, the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, and into the Atlantic, witnessing many rare marine creatures, plants, and strange underwater scenes, as well as experiencing numerous dangers. Finally, when the submarine reaches the coast of Norway, Aronnax leaves without hesitation, revealing the secrets of the underwater world to the world.
