"The Return of Captain Nemo" is a 1978 science fiction TV movie directed by Alex March and Paul Stader. It is loosely based on characters and settings from Jules Verne's novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea".
In this version, Captain Nemo (played by José Ferrer) is found in suspended animation under the sea and revived by modern-day people in order to battle the King of Atlantis, who is under the control of a fiendish mad scientist. The film was to serve as the pilot for a very brief action series.
The film was a co-production between Irwin Allen Productions and Warner Bros. Television. It was distributed by CBS Television but was also released theatrically as "The Amazing Captain Nemo".
