Summary: 5 Stars
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a very long, drawn-out account of a French professor's adventures under the sea as a 'captive'. At first The Professor is part of the mission hunting the 'large, fluorescent narwhal' that is attacking ships and moves at phenomenal speeds. But after the encounter it he, his assistant, and the harpooner are all thrown overboard. Being at night and the ship's rudder broken they are stranded inthe middle of the ocean...until they find a hard platform to stand on.
The platform turns out to be the top of a giant submarine known as the "Nautilus". The three are taken aboard the Nautilus as captives, but after having gained the captains trust are allowed to live more as crewmen than prisoners. Except for the fact they are not allowed to go upon land and escape the Nautilus they quite enjoy their various ventures all around the oceans of the world...
