20,000 Leagues under the Sea plot
"Darkness is to be feared... above and below."
The oceans are ravaged by a terrible monster that suddenly appears at sunset and feasts on the ships and their crews. A good reason for the well-known deep-sea scientist Professor Aronnax to look for this mysterious and evil animal. Together with his helper Conseil, he steps on board with sailor Ned Land. But soon their boat is sunk by the monster. Then Arronnax and his men discover the source of evil.

The first of two competing adaptations of Jules Verne's novel, released in 1997. 20,000 Leagues under the Sea appeared a little later. This was Alan Hume's last film as director of photography.
This version deviates from the well-known story, and that takes some getting used to. Personally, I found it disappointing that romance was created between Sophie, Ned and Captain Nemo. The photography and beautiful surroundings then make up for a lot. Still, this version remains mediocre, and they would have done better to stay true to Jules Verne's novel.
