This 1954 Disney version of Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea represented the studio's costliest and most elaborate American-filmed effort to date. Kirk Douglas plays a trouble-shooting 19th century seaman, trying to discover why so many whaling ships have been disappearing of late. Teaming with scientist Paul Lukas and diver Peter Lorre, Douglas sets sail to investigate--and is promptly captured by the megalomaniac Captain Nemo (James Mason), who skippers a lavish, scientifically advanced submarine. The film's special effects, including a giant squid, were impressive enough in 1954 to win an Academy Award.

from Fort Lauderdale, Florida A Classic Undersea Epic Adventure.
Disney's brilliant spellbinding undersea film version of Jules Verne's classic novel stars Kirk Douglas, James Mason, Paul Lukas, and Peter Lorre which tells about three shipwrecked survivors, who are taken captive by the mysterious Captain Nemo (Mason), whose futuristic submarine, the Nautilus has been wreaking havoc on ships across the seven seas. The movie's most memorable classic scene is the battle with a giant squid. The movie also won two Academy Awards for Best Art-Set Decoration (Color) and Best Special Effects. With Carleton G. Young, Robert J. Wilke, Ted de Corsia, J.M. Kerrigan, Ted Cooper, Percy Helton, and Fred Graham.
