In 1914, brilliant but overlooked linguist Milo Thatch (Timothée Chalamet) is determined to fulfill his late grandfather’s lifelong dream — discovering the lost city of Atlantis. When eccentric millionaire Preston Whitmore (John Malkovich) funds a daring expedition, Milo joins a team of specialists led by the cunning Commander Rourke (Josh Brolin) and the enigmatic Lieutenant Helga Sinclair (Margot Robbie). As the crew dives deep beneath the ocean, they uncover breathtaking wonders — and lurking dangers. When they finally reach Atlantis, Milo meets the fierce and intelligent Princess Kida Nedakh (Amber Midthunder), who holds the key to the city’s ancient power. But what begins as a mission of discovery spirals into a race against time, as betrayal threatens to destroy the Atlantean people and their sacred legacy. With allies like the warm-hearted Dr. Sweet (Michael Jai White), explosive expert Vinny (Pedro Pascal), sarcastic engineer Audrey (Xochitl Gomez), and eccentric geologist Mole (Jack Black), Milo must rise beyond theory and history — and fight for a future worth believing in.
