Mitten hinein in ein Abenteuer stürzen Professor Aronax und der junge Harpunier Ned Land, als sie bei der Jagd auf ein mysteriöses Seeungeheuer in den Fluten des Meeres versinken.

Doch schon bald wird den Geretteten klar, dass es kein Entkommen von ihm und seinem geheimnisumwitterten Kapitän Nemo gibt.
'Geht mit an Bord und begleitet Professor Aronnax und Ned Land auf ihrer Reise, 20.000 Meilen unter dem Meer. Taucht ein in die sphärischen Klangwelten vom Chor und Orchester des SWR. Stürmische Streicherwogen und gewaltige Blechbläser Kaskaden dringen an euer Ohr, wenn Wal und Riesenkrake miteinander kämpfen. Es glitzert und schillert in den Weiten des Meeres, wenn Flöte und Celesta um die Wette trillern. Viele Gefahren warten auf unsere beiden Helden. Und wer ist der geheimnisvolle Kapitän Nemo?' (Henrik Albrecht, Komponist und Regisseur)
During the year 1866, ships of several nations spot a mysterious sea monster, which some suggest to be a giant narwhal. The United States government assembles an expedition in New York City to find and destroy the monster. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist and narrator of the story, who happens to be in New York at the time, receives a last-minute invitation to join the expedition which he accepts. Canadian whaler and master harpoonist Ned Land and Aronnax's faithful servant Conseil are also brought aboard.
Professor Pierre Aronnax is a fortunate though unwilling passenger on the amazing submersible, Nautilus. Its captain, Nemo, hounded by the "civilized" world above water, wages a solitary war against what he views as injustice and hatred. While Aronnax gazes out through the observation windows of the massive craft on the deepest trenches of the sea, the greater wonder may be the enigmatic commander at his side and the deadly quest he pursues.
Jules Verne’s classic science fiction fantasy carries its hero—Professor Aronnax of the Museum of Paris—on a thrilling and dangerous journey far below the waves to see what creatures live in the ocean’s depths. In the process, Verne imagined a vessel that had not yet been invented: the submarine.
