The story begins in 1866 when reports emerge in English newspapers about a colossal sea creature attacking ships, capturing the attention of scientists. Some believe it to be a submarine, while others assert it is an unknown creature. In response, the Americans dispatch the frigate Abraham Lincoln to uncover the mystery. Among the expedition members is French naturalist Professor Aronnax, accompanied by his servant Conseil, who meet harpooner Ned Land aboard the ship. After a long fruitless search, the crew spots a mysterious light in the water. They attempt to pursue and harpoon the creature, but it suddenly turns and collides with the ship. The impact throws Aronnax, Conseil, and Ned into the sea, where they find themselves on the back of what turns out to be a submarine. They are taken inside and imprisoned in a dark chamber. The next day, a man introduces himself as Captain Nemo and informs them they are aboard the Nautilus, which they must never leave to protect its secrets. As unwilling passengers, they embark on an extraordinary underwater journey, discovering the ocean's hidden wonders and learning about its natural phenomena.
