Story
The film takes place in accordance with the plot of the novel of the same name by Jules Verne. During the war of the North and South in the USA in 1865, a group of captive northerners flees from a city besieged by the northerners of Richmond in a balloon . They find themselves on a mysterious uninhabited island, where they are not alone - with them the mysterious captain Nemo . The key difference between the plot of the film and the novel is that the heroes warned by Captain Nemo about the awakening of the volcano leave the island on a sailboat built on their own (and are not saved by the crew of Duncan after the death of the island). Another difference is that the colonists did not find Ayrton during a trip to Tabor Island (the film does not have this), but on their island (and there is not a word about the events and characters of the novel "Children of Captain Grant").
