  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;'I'm going to sink it.'
'You are not!'
'I am,' he coldly replied. 'Do not take it on yourself to judge me, monsieur.'&lt;/b&gt;

French naturalist Dr. Aronnax embarks on an expedition to hunt down a sea monster, only to discover instead the &lt;i&gt;Nautilus,&lt;/i&gt; a remarkable submarine built by the enigmatic Captain Nemo. Together Nemo and Aronnax explore the underwater marvels, undergo a transcendent experience amongst the ruins of Atlantis, and plant a black flag at the South Pole. But Nemo's mission is one of revenge-and his methods coldly efficient.</default_description>
