        历险电影《地心历险记2：神秘岛》，源于17岁的肖恩·安德森（乔什·哈切森饰演）收到的一组发自无人知晓的神秘岛密码求救信号。
        因为无法劝阻肖恩追踪信号来源，肖恩的继父汉克（道恩·强森饰演）只能陪着他一起踏上这段南太平洋之行。而他们最终的目的地，是一座没几个活人亲眼见过的岛屿。那里风光旎丽，鸟语花香；珍禽异兽，应有尽有；金山火山，叹为观止；是座无奇不有的神秘天堂。 他们俩只找到一个，愿意跟他们铤而走险的直升机驾驶员，嘎巴托（路易斯·古兹曼饰演），和他美丽，坚强的女儿凯兰尼（凡妮莎·哈金斯饰演），四人一起踏上了这段寻岛之旅。选段中，Gabato因祸得福，发现了很大很大的金球，但是女儿Kailani告诉他，只要家人在一起就是幸福。同时，Sean和Hank准备下海探险……
        【选段台词】
        Sean: There's Poseidon's Trident, right where it's supposed to be.
        Hank: We need the cliff. This is just shoreline.
        Sean: The Nautilus is supposed to be inside of a cave right here.
        Hank: Maybe the map is wrong.
        Sean: Let me see it.
        Hank: Sean, we are in the right place.
        Sean: Well, then where's the cave? Where's the Nautilus?
        Hank: Down there. The sea level's risen over 100 feet in the last 24 hours.
        Sean: I can't believe this is happening. We're too late. It's over.
        Hank: No, it's not. It's okay. It's okay. We just gotta think. We just gotta think of a way to get... I got it.
        Sean: What?  
        Hank: Scuba tanks.
        Sean: Are we listing things that we don't have? Okay, a jet pack, a girlfriend, calligraphy paper.
        Hank: No, no, listen to me. We just "Calligraphy paper"?
        Sean: It popped into my head.
        Hank: We have a couple of dry bags, right?
        Sean: Yeah.
        Hank: Okay, so we take what we salvaged from the beach, and we build makeshift scuba tanks. No short breaths no wasted movements. Make sure you equalize ear pressure as you go down.
        Sean: You know if we die down there... Mom's gonna kill us.
        Hank: Then let's do this.
        Kailani: Papa? Papa.
        Gabato: What are you doing here? You're supposed to be back at the Nautilus. I'll meet you back there.
        Kailani: Papa, stop. Stop. Papa, stop!
        Gabato: Baby, this is our one chance. Our one chance to send you to college. To give you a different life, a better life.
        Kailani: Papa. We'll have all the wealth we'll ever need... just as long as we're together. Let's go home.
        Gabato: All right. All right. Okay.
        Sean's Grandpa: Double-time, Gabby.
        Hank: Okay, it's only 100 feet down, and we've got two hits of air with this.
        Sean: Right.
        Hank: Are you ready?
        Sean: Am I ready? Are you ready?
        Hank: Oh, I'm totally ready.
        Sean: Well, I'm totally ready.
        Hank: Well, I'm probably more ready than you.
        Sean: No, there's no way. I'm, like, twice as ready as you are. We're procrastinating out of fear, aren't we?
        Hank: Oh, absolutely.
        Sean: Yeah.
