He got rich on the theft of underwater treasures, kidnapped Professor Roch, discoverer of an effective explosive, and intends to abuse his invention to dominate the world. For humanity, it saves freedom and for itself the love of the charming professor's daughter Jana. Karel Zeman's famous film was made in 1958 based on Jules Verne's novels and using the artistic articles of the original Verneo illustrators Rion and Bennet. The combination of the cartoon and feature film achieved extraordinary unification thanks to a detailed artistic concept that began in cartoon backdrops and ended in the costumes and masks of acting leaders. The charm of this film, which ranks among the world's classics, was also underlined by the poetic script František Hrubín with a joke with the lightogues of Milan Vácha and Jiří Brdečka.
