In the beginning of the film, Sean gets a radio signal of a code from his grandfather Alexander Anderson, who has been missing for two years, but the signal was to weak so Sean broke into a remote satellite research center to boost the signal.

While on the island, they discover that all animals big are small and all animals small are gigantic. After coming across a massive frill-necked lizard when they come across her egg clutch, they are rescued by Sean's grandfather Alexander. Later in the film the group discovers that the island is about to sink to the bottom of the ocean in a couple of days, and their only chance of survival is for them to find the legendary Nautilus (Captain Nemo's submarine) hidden somewhere on the island.
