James Cameron and Simcha Jacobovici go on a quest to find the lost city of Atlantis.
Ever since Plato wrote about Atlantis around the middle of the 4th century BC, scholars have been arguing: Is the sunken island nation merely an invention of the philosopher with which he wanted to illustrate his political theories? Or did an empire really once exist from which Plato drew inspiration - and if so, where? Produced by director James Cameron, the documentary embarks on a journey around the world: using the latest research, satellite images, manuscripts and archaeological artifacts are evaluated and groundbreaking new theories on Atlantis lore are presented.
