Captain Nemo (Robert Ryan) and his submarine Nautilus rescues survivors of a passenger ship sinking. He brings them to his secret underwater city.
Non of these characters are that compelling. I don't care about the Senator. I don't understand Nemo. The character work is where this movie falls down. It does have some nice underwater work and interesting designs. The gold doesn't make much scientific sense or monetary sense. This has some good design work and some fine chaotic action. After Lomax almost destroys the city, one would expect more tension in the story. It is unable to raise the intensity in writing or in acting. It's all very flat.
