The year is 1886 and New England's fishing harbor is the scene for a "creature of unknown origin" destroying all ships at sea. It is the job of a curious marine expert, Professor Pierre Aronnax (Patrick Dempsey) and the iron-willed sailor, Ned Land (Bryan Brown) to learn the truth of the "monster" roaming the depths of the ocean. Their discovery begins when they encounter the reclusive Captain Nemo (Michael Caine) and learn of his surprising relationship with the terrorizing "creature" and all the other secrets lurking in the waters.

I could perhaps forgive the incredibly poor tricks, Michael Caine's fairground performance, and I could also forgive the script that is deepened by some kind of would-be Freudian and ethical-moral attempts. However, I really can't forgive the film for the complete loss of the proper Verne atmosphere, enjoyment of the unknown and chilling tension from submarine rebellion against everyone, led by the mighty Captain Nobody. Rod Hardy tried something and this thing is not entirely tragic, but for fans of Jules Verne it is hardly more than a bad-looking TV B-movie... And likely not just for them.
