Jose Ferrer plays Captain Nemo, who put himself in cryogenic hibernation and is awakened 100 years later by divers with the US government. They enlist his help to stop mad scientist Burgess Meredith, who is blackmailing the President with a ray gun. Nemo takes them to the lost city of Atlantis where he convinces the hapless residents to help after they are attacked by Meredith as well. Tries to be an underwater Star Wars, with laser shoot outs, a poor Darth Vader imitation and a tunnel that almost exactly looks like the one at the beginning of the first Star Wars movie where Leia is rescued. Meredith is ridiculous and Ferrer wooden. Edited from a three hour mini-series, which only further confuses the plot.
