Plot Summary
Four years after his adventure in the center of the Earth, 17-year-old Sean Anderson is caught by police following a high-speed dirt bike pursuit that ends in a neighbor’s swimming pool. His stepfather, Hank Parsons, intervenes to keep him out of juvenile detention. Sean had broken into a satellite facility to boost a coded signal he believes was sent by his long-missing grandfather, Alexander. Hank helps him decode the message, which leads them to three classic novels—Treasure Island, Gulliver’s Travels, and The Mysterious Island—and a set of coordinates pointing to a location in the South Pacific. Traveling to Palau, they hire helicopter pilot Gabato Laguatan and his daughter Kailani to fly to the coordinates.
A cyclone storm crashes them onto the mysterious island, where they encounter miniature elephants, giant butterflies, and other unusual fauna. They are soon rescued by Alexander, who has been living on the island for years. He reveals they are on the legendary Mysterious Island, which rises and sinks every 70 years. While Alexander believes they have time, Hank finds signs that the island will sink in a matter of days. To escape, they seek the submarine Nautilus, hidden in an underwater cave at Poseidon’s Cliffs. With Kailani’s help, they locate Captain Nemo’s journal and identify the sub’s location. The group travels on giant bees to reach the site but are attacked by bee-eating birds.
Sean is injured saving Kailani, and the group briefly rests. Gabato, enticed by the island’s gold, goes missing. While Alexander and Kailani retrieve him from the erupting volcano, Sean and Hank dive to the cave, evading a giant electric eel, and restart Nautilus using the eel’s bioelectric charge. They rescue the others just as the island sinks. Gabato pilots the submarine to safety, while Hank and Sean defend it from volcanic debris. Months later, Gabato operates a successful tourist business aboard Nautilus, and Kailani visits Sean on his birthday.
