Plot A group of geologists, including Professor Otto Lidenbrock, discuss various theories on the make-up off the interior of the Earth. They decide that the only way to know for sure would be to mount an expedition to discover which theory was true. Whilst visiting a book shop, Lidenbrock (More) buys an old book, written by Arne Saknussemm, containing undisclosed, coded knowledge of the center of the Earth from a mysterious gentleman. Eager to know more, he enlists his niece Glauben and her lover Axel, a soldier. Axel is charged with keeping a diary of the journey, and often enhances his contributions to the exhibition. Upon arriving in Iceland, they hire shepherd and mountaineer Hans. Together, the four of them set off for the adventure of a lifetime to the center of the Earth. After a series of mishaps, including losing the mysterious book, about midway through their journey, Olsen, a time traveling scientist, meets the explorers.
