May 1863 Professor Liedenbrock Hamburg discovered in a scrawl the coded message of an Icelandic scholar of the sixteenth century, indicating, no less, that the path leading to the center of the Earth!

In the film adaptation of the 1959 novel (James Mason), the director did not hesitate to invent a second team of "bad guys", trying to snatch the success of his expedition to Professor Lidenbrock, to make the scenario a little more breathless; it lacked evidence may be a slight hint of suspense to the original work ...
