Captain Nemo (Latif) is a prisoner in 1850s colonial India. As part of his servitude, he’s forced to build a powerful submarine, named the Nautilus, for the East India Mercantile Company. When Nemo becomes aware of the company’s plan to use the submarine as a warship, he organizes an uprising with the other prisoners to seize the submersible and escape. “Nautilus” follows Nemo and his crew of fellow escaped prisoners while they’re on the run and determined to defeat their captors.
