本片段对白：
Hank: Hey. I was looking to talk to you. You know, very concerned adult to somewhat troubled youth.
Sean: Which one am I in that equation?
Hank: Hey, buddy. What's all this?
Sean: Nothing.
Hank: That's a cryptogram, right? Looks like Morse code.
Sean: Mm-hm.
Hank: Yeah, look. One syllable words, dots. Two syllable words, dashes. I learned that in the Navy.
Sean: Okay, then. What's it say?
Hank: What's it for?
Sean: It's complicated.
Hank: So is the code.
Sean: Okay. Here's the deal. A few nights ago, a radio signal got sent out from somewhere. Could've been anywhere. It was these words on a loop.
Hank: "Pip, Zorn, Strux."
Sean: These are all characters taken from the books of Verne. The message was by a Vernian. And my equipment wasn't powerful enough to receive the whole message, so...
Hank: So you broke into that satellite facility to boost your signal.
Sean: Look, someone out there sent this message and I'm gonna be the person to solve it. This is really important to me.
Hank: Hey, you know what? Why don't we solve this together?
Sean: Fine.
Hank: Okay. The first part of the message reads, "The...I-S-L." Island. "Is..." R-E. "Real. The island is real."
Sean: You're serious? You're notmessing with me?
Hank: No. That's what it says. "The island is real."
Sean: I can't believe it. I can't believe somebody actually found the island.
Hank: What island?
Sean: The Mysterious Island. Vernians have been looking for this for years. What's the rest of the codes say?
Hank: "Child of Steve, born...eighteen...eight-three." "Born 1883."
Sean: Child of Steve. Child of Steve.
Hank: Maybe "son of Steve"?
Sean: Steven's son. Stevenson. Robert Louis Stevenson.
Hank: The author.
Sean: He was born way before 1883. It’s gotta be somebody else.
Hank: Maybe it's not a somebody.
Sean: Maybe it's a something.
Hank: What are we looking for?
Sean: Come on. Aha! Treasure Island, written by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1883. What's the next part of the riddle?
Hank: All right. "The name that's last is going fast. He hitched his tale to Lemuel's mast."
Sean: Okay, so his...his last name is going fast. Is he... is he a runner?
Hank: What if his last name is fast? Fleet or Quick. Swift.
Sean: Swift. Jonathan Swift.
Hank: Another author.
Sean: Writing about another island.
Hank: So "Lemuel" must be... Nice. Lemuel Gulliver. OK. We have three different books.
Sean: By three different authors. About three different islands. Maybe... Maybe all three books are about the same island. Maybe that's why nobody else has ever found the mysterious island because they haven't used the other two books.
Hank: Treasure Island's got a map.
Sean: Yeah, Swift has one too. But these are different than Verne's. I don't get it. What are you doing?
Hank: You know what I did in the Navy, Sean?
Sean: No.
Hank: I won the esteemed...Rochefort Award...three years in a row...for code-breaking.
Sean: That’s incredible.
Hank: I think we found your Mysterious Island.
Sean: Uh, what are those?
Hank: Coordinates. Longitude and latitude. And that'll put us right about...here.
Sean: That's 100 miles off the coast of Palau, in the middle of the South Pacific.
Hank: What do you think you are doing?
Sean: I gotta go.
Hank: Go where?
Sean: To Mysterious Island.
Hank: All right, cool. Hey, can you stop by the moon and grab me a Slurpee?
Sean: Joke all you want.
Hank: Yeah, I will, and you're gonna be here to listen to it. You're not going to Palau, Sean.
Sean: Why not?
Hank: Number one, you're grounded. On top of that, you got school.
Sean: I'm a straight-A student. I can afford to miss a couple days. Besides, this is Mysterious Island.
Hank: Slow down, slow down. Okay? Do you think you gonna travel half way around the world and meet up with some lunatic who’s messing around on aham radio?
Sean: It's not some lunatic. It's Alexander Anderson, my grandfather.
Hank: How would you know he sent that?
Sean: Well, it makes perfect sense. He's the original Vernian in the family. He's been looking for the Mysterious Island for like...half his life and nobody's heard from him in two years. I think he's in trouble. And I'm gonna find him.
Hank: Sean, stop. Sean. Stop! I'm not letting you go on a rescue mission, certainly not by yourself. Whether you like it or not, you're still a kid.
Sean: Look, I understand your situation, okay? You wanna make my mom happy and I appreciate that. I really do. But you need to just focus on running your construction company and paying the mortgage and asking her how her day was...because I'm okay. And like it or not, this is bigger than you.
***********************************
Hank: Apparently the message was sent by his grandfather. Sean said he's been missing for a couple years.
Elizabeth: It's hard to be missing if you were never around. I wouldn't trust one word from Alexander Anderson.
Hank: Sean seems really convinced.
Elizabeth: Oh, it's always convincing from Alexander.
Hank: I see. So in Sean's mind, Alexander's this glamorous adventurer.
Elizabeth: When in reality he was a man that wasn't there when his family needed him the most.
Hank: That's exactly why we need to let Sean go on this trip.
Elizabeth: Why?
Hank: Because Sean needs a man in his life. Somebody who’s gonna be there for him and connect with him. We were cracking that code, seriously, that was the first time that we were on the same page for more than five minutes.
Elizabeth: Then bond with him on some non-mysterious island, like Hawaii.
Hank: Ah, Hawaii. Our honeymoon. Aloha oe...
Elizabeth: Yes, but I'm serious, babe.
Hank: I'm serious too. Listen, we'll fly down to Palau. When Sean realizes the island's not real, and his grandfather's not there, I'll be there to cushion the blow, and done will be done.
******************************
Hank: Good morning, buddy. 0700 hours.
Sean: I'm busy.
Hank: I don't think you're gonna be too busy for this.
Sean: I'm going to Palau?
Hank: Ha, ha. Close. We're going to Palau.
Sean: What?[page]

历险新片《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。一路上他们不仅拯救了岛上唯一的人类居民——肖恩的祖父，更在地震冲击波淹没岛屿，埋葬其无限宝藏之前，逃出生天。这一切的一切，都发生在《地心历险记2：神秘岛》上，这是继2008年全球大获成功的《历险之旅1：地心游记》后，另一段惊心动魄的历险故事。
《神秘岛》以令人惊奇的画面呈现出浩瀚壮观的亚特兰蒂斯城、海战电鳗、大黄蜂做直升机、身材袖珍的大象、身长有如足球场的蜥蜴、喷发黄金熔岩的活火山等视觉奇观，很多真假难辨的美丽画面满足了观众对立体影片中那种“迈前一步，便葬身悬崖”的刺激感追求。
电影的 3D效果——几位主角们与神秘岛上庞大生物追逐的高潮戏让观众宛如身临其境，更让观众体会险象环生的感觉。神秘岛神奇的力量让微小的生物变得异常巨大。蜈蚣、蜥蜴、蜂鸟都成为人类的猎食者，勇闯小岛的一行人，不仅要探索小岛的神奇，更要逃出生天。在小岛上的每时每刻都是在与时间赛跑，电影在节奏上拿捏得恰到好处，让观众紧跟剧情的推进。
为了展示出枝繁叶茂的热带风情，2010年秋天，导演把整个摄制团队拉到了夏威夷的瓦胡岛上进行拍摄。这里除了有复杂的地形之外，还有绵长的海岸线，各式各样的山峦、火山以及丰富的植被等等。可以说，瓦胡岛的自然条件是非常优越的。布拉德·佩顿说：“夏威夷的拍摄非常顺利，因为有着和剧本中描述类似的外景地，所以我们的心情格外舒畅，拍摄起来也很有效率。虽然在室外的拍摄会比较幸苦，而且我们的摄制装备又非常巨大，但拍摄还是很顺利的，尤其是一些难度不小的动作戏场面，在所有人的通力合作下，拍摄的很漂亮。”(来源：百度百科)
