20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a silent film made in 1916, based on the novel by Jules Verne of the same title.
This version is notable for its groundbreaking work in actual underwater photography by George M. Williamson and J. Ernest Williamson. It is also notable for taking a somewhat revisionist view of Vernes novel, making Captain Nemo an Indian prince who created the Nautilus after an unscrupulous colonial officer killed his wife and burned down his palace.
