When Professor Lidenbrock discovers coded messages about a passage to the center of the Earth in an old manuscript, he decides to undertake the adventure of a lifetime and travel through the volcanic passage described in his research. Accompanied by his nephew Axel and their Icelandic guide, he undertakes a fantastic journey, encountering unimaginable environments, terrible obstacles and strange creatures along the way.
