Jules Verne's Mysterious Island

Outside a Confederate prison camp in Virginia, the Civil War rages, night approaches, a storm brews, and five souls with nothing in common but the will to survive prepare an escape. The diverse group: Union Captain Cyrus Smith, the African-American slave, Neb, widowed nurse Jane Spillet \, her teenage daughter Helen (Danielle Calvert, Oscar Charlie).

He is Captain Nemo, madman, genius, and a legend in the annals of war, long thought dead. Now in his impenetrable compound-a miracle of human technology-he and his manservant Joseph work toward an inconceivable goal: to build an incalculably destructive bomb, not to instigate war, but to end it forever.
