In a world where the line between reality and imagination blurs, ‘The Fabulous World of Jules Verne’ transports audiences into the mind of a brilliant scientist named Dr. Roche. Nestled atop a cliff overlooking a tempestuous sea, Roche’s laboratory buzzes with the energy of his latest creation—a powerful explosive with the potential to change the course of history. However, this groundbreaking invention attracts the attention of an unscrupulous businessman, Artigas, who kidnaps Roche and his assistant, Simon, dragging them into a sinister plot.

Beneath the ocean’s surface lies Artigas’ hidden lair, concealed within the heart of a dormant volcano. Here, Roche is coerced into perfecting his explosive for nefarious purposes. Meanwhile, Simon embarks on a perilous journey to escape and warn the world of Artigas’ treacherous plans. The film unfolds against a backdrop of breathtaking visuals—baroque submarines navigating through underwater realms, sailing ships battling monstrous octopuses, and ingenious contraptions that defy logic.

‘Invention’s Edge’ is a feast for the eyes, blending live-action sequences with puppetry, animation, and meticulous set designs that pay homage to the woodcuts and engravings of the 19th century. This Czechoslovakian masterpiece, inspired by the lesser-known works of Jules Verne, transcends its literary origins to offer a cinematic experience that is both surreal and captivating. A tale of adventure, comedy, and the triumph of good over evil, ‘Invention’s Edge’ is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the power of invention can illuminate the path forward.
