Atlantis: The Lost Empire (96 min)
Synopsis: In 1914, an inexperienced young museum cartographer and linguistics expert, Milo Thatch, joins up with a group of daredevil explorers in an expedition funded by an eccentric billionaire, Preston B. Whitmore, to find the legendary lost empire of Atlantis. Milo is continuing a quest begun by his late grandfather. Utilizing a long-lost journal which provides new clues to the location, they embark in a state-of-the-art submarine, the Ulysses, under fearless but cunning Commander Rourke. But what they find defies their expectations—crystal energy that has kept the Atlantis inhabitants alive. Rourke steals the crystals and kidnaps the Atlantean Princess Kida. It is up to Milo to come to the rescue, save the princess, and protect the city from certain doom.
