00:30More air!
00:32What?
00:33More air!
00:34I want it hotter!
00:36Hotter!
00:47Uncle, be careful!
00:54Magnificent!
00:57Look at that, Alex.
00:59Do you realize what you're looking at, lad?
01:02It's just a model of the world.
01:04Just a model.
01:07Alex, you're looking at proof.
01:10Proof of the Icelandic scientist Stagnusson's theory about the temperature at the center of the Earth.
01:17But how can...
01:19Listen.
01:20Stagnusson said...
01:22Uncle Otto, something's wrong with that thing.
01:25Huh?
01:27Wrong?
01:28Nonsense, lad.
01:30You just keep watching closely.
01:33You'll see some fine cracks appearing soon in the casing just about there.
01:50Professor Lindenbrock!
01:52Alex, what happened?
01:54What's happening?
01:55It's Uncle Otto's experiment.
01:57Something's going wrong.
01:59I think you'd better go back to the house.
02:03Stretcher, get Martha back to the house.
02:06Quick!
02:12Alex, what are you doing?
02:14You'll ruin my experiment!
02:16Uncle, we've got to get out of here.
02:20Don't you understand, Alex?
02:23It's happening just as I said it would.
02:26Uncle, come on!
02:28The book!
02:29Stagnusson's book!
02:31Uncle!
02:43Martha, are you all right?
02:46Are you all right?
02:48Aye, I think so.
02:50Oh, my kitchen!
02:52Look what he's done to my kitchen.
02:55Alex, I'm a professor.
03:11There, there it is.
03:13Page 240.
03:15Stagnusson says if the temperature of the Earth's interior were as high as some scientists believe,
03:22the whole world would explode like a firebomb.
03:25So?
03:26Don't you understand?
03:28My experiment has just proved that Stagnusson's theory is correct.
03:32Therefore, the interior of the Earth must be much cooler than people think.
03:37Therefore, there could be life miles below the surface.
03:45I'm going to the scientific society this afternoon.
03:48Wait till they hear about my experiment.
03:51Oh, professor.
03:53Just look at you.
03:54Stop fussing, woman.
03:56Where was I?
03:58Oh, yes.
03:59While I'm away, go right through this.
04:02Every last page.
04:04But it's in runic writing.
04:07I can't understand a word of it and...
04:09Somewhere in there.
04:11There must be a clue to tell us how Stagnusson knows so much about the inside of the Earth.
04:22Call yourself scientists?
04:25My cook knows more about biology than the lot of you.
04:29And she left school when she was eleven years old.
04:32Professor Lindenbrock,
04:35outbursts like that seem to me most unsuitable
04:40for a gentleman of this society.
04:43I'm not a gentleman, Dr. Krepner.
04:46I'm a scientist.
04:48I would venture to say, sir, that you're not a scientist either.
04:56Please, Dr. Benz.
04:58That's hardly the way to address the renowned president of the Hamburg Scientific Society.
05:05President now, sir, but not for long.
05:09Well said.
05:13Lindenbrock,
05:15you must know what we think of your center-of-the-Earth theory,
05:20admit that you're wrong,
05:22and withdraw it.
05:24Never!
05:25If the center of the Earth were as hot as you believe it is,
05:29the rock would have turned to liquid or high-pressure gas.
05:34This is what would have happened to our Earth millions of years ago.
05:42The air is filled with living creatures.
05:45So are the oceans.
05:47And the surface of the Earth, too.
05:50Life everywhere.
05:52And I believe there is also life, gentlemen, miles beneath the surface,
05:57near the very center of the Earth.
06:01Can you prove it?
06:07I'll prove it, gentlemen.
06:12I will prove it.
06:22If he succeeds correctly,
06:25if he does prove this theory of his,
06:30he'll be the most famous man in the world.
06:34I think we should just keep an eye on Professor Lindenbrock.
06:41You know, you really shouldn't tell funny stories about your uncle.
06:47Anyway, who's always saying what a funny old bird he is?
06:51Oh, uh...
06:53Good evening, Professor.
06:55Evening, Alex.
06:57Gretchen.
06:59What was that about birds?
07:01Oh, um...
07:03Nothing, sir.
07:05Went right through Sark Newsome.
07:07I couldn't find any clues.
07:09But there must be something there.
07:11You can go through it again tonight,
07:14while I'm doing those gravity experiments.
07:22Professor!
07:24Don't look so surprised, Martha.
07:27You've been cooking dinners for me every day for 20 years.
07:30And you haven't eaten at the table like a civilized person in all that time.
07:34Always up in that silly laboratory.
07:37And all that colored smoke, and noises, and stink.
07:41What will the neighbors think?
07:43Yes, I know, I know.
07:47But after 20 years, I think the neighbors must be used to it, don't you?
07:53Don't you?
07:58Oh!
08:0225...
08:0426...
08:0527...
08:0728...
08:0829...
08:09Ah!
08:10Ah!
08:15Oh!
08:16I lost count!
08:18That silly woman.
08:20Now I'll have to start all over again.
08:23Let me down, Alex.
08:27Ah!
08:29Ah!
08:34So, Alex, have another look at Statham, will you?
08:38Yes, uncle.
08:41The outer shell is...
08:43...and has a density between 2.7 and 5.6 liters.
08:48And the core must be about 12 feet iron.
08:53Now, the rarity is the acceleration.
08:57Hey!
09:00Two pages stuck together.
09:12Uncle Otto!
09:14What?
09:15Look at this!
09:16Here!
09:17I found something in Sock Newsome's book.
09:20See?
09:21This piece of silk.
09:22The heat of the candle brought out those letters.
09:25There are more letters coming up.
09:28Scatharis...
09:30Intra...
09:31Alex!
09:32You're a genius!
09:34That's his name!
09:36There!
09:37Arne Sock Newsome!
09:40Let's see now.
09:41On the last day of June, go to...
09:46Ah!
09:48Blast!
09:49It's gone!
09:50My only clue destroyed!
09:54Dawn...
09:55On the last day of June...
10:00What was that word I said first?
10:04Scar...
10:06Scar something.
10:08Yes!
10:09Scatharis!
10:11That's the name of some place.
10:13He was there on the last day of June.
10:16But where is this Scatharis?
10:19Probably Iceland.
10:20He lived there.
10:21That's right!
10:22Iceland!
10:24I remember seeing it on a map.
10:26And we've got only three weeks till June 30th.
10:30Martha!
10:31Martha!
10:32Pack my bags!
10:34But Uncle...
10:35Don't stand about, lad!
10:36Get yourself ready!
10:37We're starting tomorrow!
10:47Professor?
10:48Breakfast is ready...
10:49Ah!
10:50What's that?
10:51It's another bomb!
10:53I'll call the fire brigade!
10:54I'll...
10:55Be quiet, woman!
10:57It's not a bomb.
10:58It's simply a...
11:00device.
11:03It's going to blow up!
11:05Don't be silly!
11:22Professor Lindenbrock's up early this morning, dear.
11:29Don't get upset.
11:31He always pays for the damage.
11:33It works!
11:42Silk climbing rope.
11:44Three coils.
11:46Right.
11:47Rock picks.
11:49Two...
11:51Yes?
11:53Lunch is ready.
11:56No time for lunch!
11:59One first aid kit.
12:01Oh!
12:02Look at this!
12:03Why can't you be like ordinary travellers and take a suitcase?
12:07Stop fussing, woman!
12:10Alex!
12:11Make sure everything's packed and labelled.
12:14Catching the night train to connect with the boat to Iceland.
12:22Well, Dr. Kretner,
12:24is it still worth it?
12:26Chasing Lindenbrock halfway to the North Pole?
12:29Oh, it's worth it, Dr. Benz.
12:32When he makes a fool of himself,
12:35I want to be there to witness it.
12:37What a joke!
12:39Fancy!
12:40The great Professor Lindenbrock!
12:42The laughingstock of the scientific world!
13:02Now, Captain!
13:04I want to leave now!
13:06I've told you the departure time, sir.
13:09From Copenhagen to Reykjavik 6 a.m. tomorrow,
13:13not a minute sooner!
13:15Hmm!
13:16Delays, delays, delays!
13:19Hmph!
13:20You can always swim to Iceland!
13:22Fore!
13:29The last day of June.
13:31The last day.
13:34June?
13:35Why June?
13:37Something that happens only in June,
13:39and only at Skataris.
13:42Maybe the moon.
13:48Or the tide?
13:50Perhaps a tide.
13:52A low tide,
13:54which uncovers a cave or a tunnel.
14:08Four days to find this mysterious Skataris.
14:12What was that you said, sir?
14:14Me?
14:15Oh, Skataris.
14:17I said we've only got four days to find it,
14:21and I'm not sure it's in Iceland,
14:24not even what it is.
14:26It's in Iceland, all right.
14:28The locals know it well enough.
14:31Won't go near it.
14:33It's just over there.
14:35There.
14:36That mountain on the peninsula.
14:38The biggest one.
14:40You what?
14:41Stop the boat!
14:43We are getting off, now!
14:50Skataris.
14:51Oh, Skataris!
14:56No.
14:57No, I can't take you there.
14:59Anyone else all right?
15:03Please, won't you help us?
15:05Sorry, mister.
15:10What's so scary about that?
15:13Looks like an ordinary old mountain to me.
15:15Actually, it's an extinct volcano
15:19with extruded basaltic lava from a central vent.
15:24They say it's haunted.
15:26What?
15:27No one will go there.
15:29It's supposed to have a curse on it.
15:31Superstitious nonsense.
15:34What curse?
15:35A couple of centuries ago,
15:37there's some story about a big expedition
15:40going down the crater.
15:42About 50 men.
15:44What?
15:45What happened?
15:47They all disappeared.
15:49Except one man came back about a year later.
15:53But he wouldn't say what had happened.
15:56Lachnusam.
15:59And it's true.
16:01Will you take us there?
16:03If you're foolish enough to go,
16:06I'm foolish enough to take you.
16:33We made it, Professor.
16:44You'll see the crater of Skataris down there
16:47as soon as it's lighter.
16:54Hans, didn't you say Skataris was extinct?
16:59There's a fire there.
17:03Strange.
17:15Well, it's the 30th of June.
17:18We are here on Skataris.
17:22Look, the shadow.
17:25The tip of the shadow touches that crater there.
17:29See, that could be it.
17:32Come on.
17:52Professor.
17:59Look at this.
18:04Anesachnusam.
18:10Whirlwind.
18:12If the crater will go down, we better do it now.
18:15It'll be safer than being out here.
18:19Quick.
18:21There's a ledge here about 20 feet down.
18:23Right.
18:28Alex, come on.
18:30Uncle, you're not serious.
18:32Quickly, there's no time.
18:34Can't see a thing.
18:36The whirlwind moves across the crater.
18:40It's clearing.
18:43They're gone.
18:45Poor devils.
18:47Must have blown them over the edge.
18:50Look, at the cliffs.
18:54They didn't have a chance.
19:00There is no choice.
19:02We're going down whether we like it or not.
19:05There's a long trip ahead of us.
19:17Come on.
19:39It's getting lighter.
19:41Soon we won't need the torches.
19:44There must be some kind of phosphorus in the rocks.
20:00That was the last of our water.
20:05There must be water here somewhere.
20:14Come on.
20:26Heavens.
20:28It's hot.
20:29The walls.
20:30Like an oven.
20:31Don't touch it.
20:34And watch the ground.
20:36It's dangerous.
20:44Alex!
21:11It's getting worse.
21:12We better rope up.
21:13Alex!
21:14Bring up the spare rope.
21:18Where is that boy?
21:20Alex!
21:22Alex!
21:25Alex!
21:27Alex!
21:30Alex!
21:32Where are you?
21:44Oh.
21:57Oh.
22:03Uncle!
22:04Uncle!
22:05Hands!
22:06Hands!
22:07Hands!
22:10Hmm.
22:12It's ours now.
22:14If we don't find him soon...
22:15I know.
22:16I know.
22:17Hands!
22:19Hands!
22:20Uncle Artichoke!
22:23Uncle Artichoke!
22:28There.
22:29Back up the tunnel.
22:31Alex!
22:33Stay where you are!
22:37Keep calling!
22:39We're coming!
22:52And when I came to, I heard it.
22:56Water.
22:57I'm sure it's water.
22:59It's water all right.
23:01On the other side of this wall.
23:04It may as well be on the moon.
23:07Is that so?
23:09Wait.
23:11We should do this scientifically.
23:14It could be dangerous.
23:17Let me examine.
23:20Just about there.
23:24See?
23:25A fault line.
23:27If you work on that crack...
23:31Good!
23:33You just might get a little trickle.
23:54Well, indeed.
23:56Now we have enough water to last a million miles.
24:00And, Alex, you'll never get lost again.
24:04We've got a road to follow to the center of the Earth.
24:07Road?
24:08Water!
24:09It flows downhill.
24:11We just follow the water.
24:14Easy!
24:18Easy, he says.
24:21Uncle, I can think of easier things than this.
24:31Careful, Professor.
24:33That's a dangerous one.
24:35Better take the run.
24:40Thanks, Hans.
24:42But I...
24:43I don't know how much more of this I can take.
24:49A few more yards.
24:51It widens out up ahead of it.
24:53Behind the falls.
24:57We're stuck!
24:58We can't go any further!
25:00Oh, it must have broken away after Sir Knudsen's party crossed over.
25:04We don't even know if he came this way.
25:07Oh, he came this way, all right.
25:11Look.
25:14What happened to them?
25:17They've been there for 200 years.
25:21We'll probably never see them again.
25:26We'll probably never know.
25:29Poor souls.
25:31It's easy going on the other side.
25:34But there's no way of getting over now.
25:39Uncle, what are you doing?
25:49Come on, my little beauty.
25:52You worked beautifully back in Hamburg.
25:56Don't fail me now.
26:52Look.
27:23I think I've been down here too long.
27:27I'm hearing things.
27:29You're hearing the same thing as I am, my lad.
27:33That's the sound of the sea.
27:35But we're a hundred miles down.
27:38It couldn't be.
27:40It can't be.
27:43It can't be.
27:46It can't be.
27:49It can't be.
27:51It couldn't be.
27:57Oh, look at that.
28:00Impossible.
28:13Salt.
28:15But that color.
28:18It must be from the rocks.
28:22And the light must be some kind of radiation.
28:27Extraordinary.
28:29No shadows.
28:32Well, Sark Newsome got this far.
28:35What did he do next?
28:36Professor, over here.
28:42The Newsome's raft.
28:45Perfectly preserved after 200 years.
28:50Even the sails untouched.
28:53And I thought we'd have to walk.
28:56Now we are sailing to the center of the Earth.
29:01Welcome aboard, Captain.
29:04Oh.
29:06No.
29:08Are you sure?
29:09We saw it with our own eyes.
29:12The entrance completely blocked with a mountain of stone.
29:18Indeed, madam.
29:20A most unfortunate accident.
29:23Is there any other way out?
29:25There are a thousand holes in the crater, but...
29:28it's most unlikely that they'd ever find a connecting tunnel.
29:32Even if they did escape the landslide.
29:36Oh, poor little Alex.
29:39Poor Professor.
29:41I knew they shouldn't do it, and now they're gone.
29:44And we'll never see them again.
29:49Martha.
29:51Martha, don't cry.
29:53It might still be all right.
29:55Alex is so strong and clever, and a professor can do anything.
30:00They might be at the center of the Earth.
30:03They may even be on their way back right now.
30:08Still no sign of the coast, Hans.
30:11How long have we been out now?
30:14Twelve, no, thirteen days.
30:17It's hard to keep track of time or direction.
30:20No sun, no moon, no tides.
30:23Even the compass doesn't seem to work down here.
30:26Then how do we know we're going the right way?
30:29We're still heading for those clouds on the horizon.
30:32Anyway, we've no choice.
30:35But look what's happening now.
30:37The world has just changed direction.
30:39It must be the current.
30:41Land! Land!
30:44Where?
30:45There, to the right.
30:47Two mountains close together.
30:50Funny-looking mountains, Uncle.
30:53They just moved.
30:54What?
30:55They're moving, all right.
30:57Coming straight for us.
30:59Marvelous.
31:01Look at them.
31:03Marvelous.
31:04Look at that.
31:05And they said there was no light.
31:08Alex, they'll see us.
31:10Get the sail down quickly.
31:11Right.
31:25Hans, look ahead.
31:27What?
31:28What is it?
31:29What's happening?
31:34Great, Elmo.
31:37I know what to do next.
31:38Jam yourself together with Max.
31:40Hurry!
31:41Hans, is this really necessary?
31:44Yes.
32:04Max!
32:05Max!
32:07Max!
32:08Max!
32:09Max!
32:10Max!
32:11Max!
32:12Max!
32:13Max!
32:14Max!
32:15Max!
32:16Max!
32:17Max!
32:18Max!
32:19Max!
32:20Max!
32:21Max!
32:22Max!
32:23Max!
32:24Max!
32:25Max!
32:26Max!
32:27Max!
32:28Max!
32:29Max!
32:30Max!
32:31Max!
32:32Yeah.
32:48Now what happened?
32:50Are we all drowned?
32:52I don't think so, but you're pretty wet.
33:02Incredible. You wanted to prove there's life down here. I guess you've done it.
33:30Life, all right, Alex, but I didn't expect life from a hundred million years ago.
33:41Do you think old Sack Newsome got this far? No, he couldn't have made it back up the waterfall.
33:48No more little elves to show us the way, so we're on our own.
33:53Miles underground, no food left, the raft's smashed up, all our equipment gone. Now what?
34:02This swamp must be the lowest part around here. I suppose we just keep going till we find our way up.
34:10We'll head for the high ground, over there. We might find a tunnel leading to the surface.
34:20Those tunnels can be dangerous. We've got a choice then, Alex. Tunnels or death.
34:40Miles! Steady, Alex, get us on! I've got you!
34:58We've got to get to the high country. Once it starts raining in this swamp, we're in trouble.
35:13You'd better go on without me. Uncle, what are you talking about?
35:28Don't move. What do you mean, don't move? I can't move. Hans, behind you!
35:44You know something? I've changed my mind about staying here. Let's go.
35:53There's a cave there! Come on! Now this is very considerate of someone. They've left us a bed.
36:17Pieces of eggshell. Look, here's one not hatched yet. It's still warm. Leave it, Alex. Looks like a pterodactyl's egg to me.
36:30Let's get out of here. I don't want to be around when the mother comes back.
36:39Fried eggs for dinner. Alex, come on! Coming!
36:48Which one? Any one, as long as it goes up. That's all we need. An earthquake!
36:58No, it's not an earthquake. Those vibrations, it's only some kind of volcanic activity.
37:08Oh, thanks, Uncle. That's made me feel much better.
37:17Let's rest here for a moment, until it's safe to go on.
37:25What is the noise?
37:34This way!
37:41Get back!
37:55Get back!
38:25Get back!
38:35What's happening?
38:50Under there!
38:53What's happening, Uncle? Is this our end?
38:56No! It's a miracle! The water is under great pressure and forcing us up!
39:15Mum! Mum! Mum!
39:20Where are we? We're not in Iceland, that's for certain.
39:30I know that volcano. Stromboli! Italy! We've come more than 2,000 miles!
39:42This is a sad occasion. We unveil this memorial plaque to a great scientist and member of this society
39:54who lost his life seeking to prove a theory to our dead colleague Lidenbrock.
40:03Yes, dear dead Lidenbrock.
40:09Dead? Far from it, sir. Lidenbrock? But you're, you're very much alive, thank you.
40:23Good heavens! Dr. Krippner has fainted?
40:28Professor! Alex! You're safe!
40:33And then, by some miracle, we were thrown clear in an eruption of Stromboli.
40:40And the rest of the story you know.
40:43And I say, I have proved life exists in the center of the Earth!
40:50Where do you think we are, Lidenbrock?
40:53Expect us to believe some ridiculous story about giant insects and dinosaurs and underground oceans?
41:03Where's your proof? How do we know you saw these so-called prehistoric creatures?
41:12Well, I... I...
41:15I say your story is false! Impossible! You mock this society!
41:21Proof, sir! I'll go.
41:28Thank you, Alex.
41:31Dr. Krippner, you're a paleontologist. You'd recognize this.
41:39Of course I do. It's the egg of a pterodactyl nyctosaurus from the upper Cretaceous period.
41:46One of the flying lizards. Feel it.
41:50Huh? It's warm!
41:55This is a hoax! It's a fraud!
41:59Pterodactyls have been extinct for a hundred million years!
42:03This is nothing but plaster and paint!
42:12Ah!
42:14Ah! Get off! Get away! Help! Help!
42:44THE END
