Journey to the Centre of the Earth

An incredible adventure from the master of science fiction. Jules Verne's imagination plays out beautifully in this thrilling tale of discovery. On translating an ancient manuscript which professes to tell the reader of a passageway into the very centre of the earth, a professor and his reluctant nephew head off on a perilous expedition. Joined by their Icelandic guide they set off through the crater of a volcano, descending into labyrinthine tunnels until they find themselves encountering a prehistoric wonderland. However what lurks in the giant cavern beneath the earth's surface may not be so friendly. Encountering fearsome beasts of various forms, and with their way out blocked, the men face a terrifying race to make their way back to civilization.
