Storyline
In 1914, a young linguist is tasked by an intrepid group of mercenaries with deciphering an ancient text that will lead them to the lost city of Atlantis.
In 1914, Milo Thatch, grandson of the great Thaddeus Thatch, works in the boiler room of a museum. He knows that Atlantis was real and that he can get there if he has the mysterious Shephard's Journal, which can guide him to Atlantis, but he needs someone to fund a voyage. His employer thinks he's dotty and refuses to fund any crazy idea. He returns home to his apartment and finds a woman there. She takes him to Preston B. Whitmore, an old friend of his grandfather. Whitmore gives Milo the Shepherd's Journal, a submarine, and an all-star crew. They travel through the Atlantic Ocean, face a large lobster called the Leviathan, and finally get to Atlantis. But does the motivations of the Atlantis crew are revealed to be different than Milo's.
