Description: Axel Lidenbrock and his uncle find a mysterious message inside a 300-year-old book. The dusty note describes a secret passageway to the center of the earth! Soon they are descending deeper and deeper into the heart of volcano. With their guide, Hans, the men discover underground rivers, oceans, strange rock formations, and prehistoric monsters. They also run into danger, which threatens to trap them below the surface forever.
