Journey to the Center of the Earth stars Brendan Fraser as a science professor, whose unconventional hypotheses have put him on the fringe of the academic community. But on an expedition in Iceland, he and his teenage nephew (Josh Hutcherson), accompanied by their beautiful local guide (Anita Briem), stumble upon a major discovery that launches them on a thrilling journey deep beneath the Earth’s surface, where they travel through never-before-seen worlds that bring them face-to-face with surreal and unimaginable creatures, stretching the bounds of the visionary scientist’s own imagination.
