The Amazing Captain Nemo

Two US navy divers discover the legendary Nautilus by accident, and upon exploring the vessel accidentally release Captain Nemo from cryogenic suspension. Shortly Nemo and his Victorian-era but still extremely advanced submarine are recruited to battle an evil scientist, threatening to unleash his Doomsday device on Washington, DC, unless he's paid a billion dollars in ransom. The movie was a pilot for an action-series called The Amazing Captain Nemo, but re-edited for cinematic release.
