Milo was inspired by his Grandfather, who often spoke of finding the Lost Continent of Atlantis. The Eds befriends him, Milo attempts to convince several of the top people at the Smithsonian to fund an expedition, but almost all of them think him crazy, but The Eds doesn't think he crazy and accept it. Coming home one evening, The Eds and Milo meets Helga Sinclair (Antje Traue), who escorts four of them to the home of millionaire Preston B Whitmore (Edgar Ramirez). Preston claims to have known Milo's Grandfather, and presents them with a journal, that contains information about reaching Atlantis. Preston claims that he has a crew ready to go, but wants Milo to head the expedition. The young man eagerly accepts. The expedition takes them to the waters off the coat of Iceland, where a giant submersible takes them to the ocean floor. The Eds and Milo cautions the crew (Stephen Lang, Laurence Fishburne, Tony Shalhoub, Michelle Rodriguez, Lily Tomlin, Jean Reno) that something know as The Leviathan may be guarding the entrance to Atlantis. It turns out that the Leviathan is a giant mechanical sea creature, that ends up destroying the sub. Luckily, The Eds, Milo and some of the crew escape, finding themselves in an underground cavern. After braving several pitfalls and strange creatures, they finally make it to Atlantis, preserved in a sunken atmosphere. However, before they can approach, they are accosted by several natives, led by the King's daughter named Kida (Ella Balinska). The Eds and Milo are soon able to communicate with the natives, and they soon reveal they know many different languages, including English. Kida leads the group into Atlantis, where she takes them to her father (John Kani). Kida's father is not at all pleased to meet these strangers, and requests that they leave. However, a member of the expedition party named Rourke (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) requests to stay one day, and is granted this request. After they are dismissed from the chambers, The Eds and Milo explains that they feel the King is hiding something, and Rourke says he wants to know what. The Eds and Milo are requested by the others to gain this information, and soon after meets with Kida. While The Eds and Milo wants to know more about Atlantis, Kida is curious about the outside world. The Eds and Milo shows Kida the journal, and also finds that the Atlanteans' crystals around their necks also function as a key that can animate stone objects with flight. Kida explains that their civilization has lost the ability to read their own language, but The Eds and Milo are able to decode the text on sunken ruins under the city. According to the information, there is a crystal that connects to the necklaces worn by the Atlanteans, and is considered their 'heart.'. The Eds, Milo and Kida are soon accosted by Rourke, who it is revealed has come to Atlantis to find the crystal for monetary purposes. The others and Helga are soon found to be in on the scheme as well, and go to the King. The King denies any knowledge of the crystal's whereabouts, but Rourke stabs him to death as Kida watches in horror and soon finds a secret underground entrance under the throne room, where the enormous crystal is kept. As the group watches, Kida suddenly takes on a blue-glow in her eyes, and ascends towards the crystal. As they watch, the crystal fuses with her, making her a glowing blue figure. Rourke and the rest of the team bring the 'Crystal/Kida' above-ground, sealing her in a metal box. Though at first the others help Rourke, as The Eds and Milo reasons with them and decides to join them, soon only Helga accompanies Rourke and the other soldiers out of Atlantis. As they leave, the crystal necklaces on the Atlanteans dim together. returning to The King after being stabed he explains to The Eds and Milo that the crystal has developed a consciousness; it will find a royal host when Atlantis is in danger. As he dies from being stabed he gives his crystal to The Eds and Milo, telling them to save Atlantis and Kida. Encouraged by Sweet, The Eds and Milo rallies the crew and the Atlanteans to stop Rourke. In a battle inside the volcano, Helga and the other mercenaries are defeated, including Rourke, killed when The Eds and Milo slashes his arm with a crystal shard. As The Eds, Milo and the others fly the crystal back to the city, the volcano erupts. With lava flowing towards the city, Kida (in her crystal form) rises into the air and creates a protective shield. The lava breaks away harmlessly, showing a restored Atlantis, and the crystal returns Kida to The Eds and Milo. The surviving crew members return to the surface and promise to keep the discovery of Atlantis a secret. Milo, in love with Kida, stays behind to help her rebuild the lost empire, The Eds wake up next morning find themselves back to their hotel room in modern day, a teacher comes by and tells that their late, during Summer they go on a trip to Ireland for a summer vacation, They meet a young girl named Saoirse try to talk to her but she mute and decide to join her for her birthday where they meet her father Conor (Liam Neeson) where he tells them he broke and how he lost his wife Bronagh, On Saoirse's birthday, they are visited by their grandmother, "Granny," (Fionnula Flanagan) who regards the lighthouse as an unfit place to raise the children. That night, Ben scares The Eds and Saoirse with a story of Mac Lir (also voiced by Liam Neeson) and his mother Macha (voiced by Fiona Shaw), the Owl Witch, who stole his feelings and turned him to stone. Later, Saoirse plays a seashell horn given to Ben by their mother, leading her to a white sealskin coat in Conor's closet. She puts on the coat and walks to a group of seals in the sea, revealing herself as a selkie. After swimming, she is found by Granny, who insists upon taking the children to the city. Conor reluctantly agrees despite Ben's protests and locks the coat in a chest, then throwing it into the sea. That night, Saoirse plays the seashell, alerting Færies called "Na Daoine Sídhe" to her. She, The Eds and Ben attempt to go home, but encounter the Færies (voiced by Liam Cummingham, Chris O'Dowd and Colm Meaney), hoping she will allow them to return to Tír na nÓg. However, they are attacked by Macha's owls, turning the Færies to stone. They take a country bus, and run into Cú, who had followed them. However, Saoirse is growing ill. They come across a holy well into which Saoirse dives. The Eds and Ben follows her and meets the Great Seanachaí (Jai Courtney): they learn Saoirse was kidnapped by Macha, and she is mute because she needs the coat and will soon die if she does not get it back. He gives The Eds and Ben one of his hairs that will lead him to Macha. As they follow the hair, it shows them that Bronagh – a selkie herself – was forced to return to the ocean on the night of Saoirse's birth, leaving her husband and the child behind. Since The Eds and Ben found the truth, the walls of hair open, showing him a way out and to the house. The Færies who turned to stone come alive and warn The Eds and Ben to avoid the jars, tell them to be careful and brave, and wish them good luck. The Eds and Ben then meets Macha, who explains that when Mac Lir suffered from a broken heart, she turned him into an island near their home. She is determined to do likewise for everyone, even herself. The Eds and Ben manages to rescue Saoirse, giving Macha back her feelings and allowing her to recognize that taking away feelings doesn't help. She helps to fly them back home, and Conor attempts to take Saoirse to a hospital; simultaneously, Granny is nearing the island to find them. The Eds and Ben dives into the sea in search of Saoirse's coat and recovers it with Conor and the seals’ help. Saoirse's coat is put on her, and her voice surprises The Eds, Ben and Conor. Mac Lir's dogs come to push the boat over, and The Eds, Conor and Ben are happy with how Saoirse's coat changes her into a little seal. Ben rides on her back and The Eds and his father rides on another seal's back to Mac Lir's island. The group is then washed up on Mac Lir's island, but Saoirse's health is not fully restored. The Eds and Ben tries to get Saoirse to sing, and she eventually sings the Song of the Sea. The song causes Saoirse's health to be fully restored, making the magical golden lights which cause the spirits and the Færies to rise out of the stone and travel to Mac Lir. Mac Lir is transformed back into his original form out of the stone and continues with Macha, his dogs, the Great Seanachaí and the Faeries back home to Tír na nÓg. Bronagh appears to take Saoirse to Tír na nÓg with her, but The Eds pleads to let Saoirse stay with her family, because she's all they have. Since she is half-human, the choice rests with Saoirse, who elects to remain behind with her family, even though it means giving up her selkie powers and becoming fully human, if Bronagh takes Saoirse's coat to untangle their worlds. Accepting her daughter's decision, Bronagh takes her coat. Conor tells Bronagh that he loves her so much, and they kiss. The Eds asks Bronagh to stay with her family as well, but she is unable to stay and tells The Eds to remember her in Ben's stories and songs and that she'll always love him. She then kisses her son's forehead. After a tearful farewell, Ben and his family happily return home to their island, where Granny finally arrives, Conor tells her he's now well enough to take care of the children, That night The Eds return to their hotel room have some dinner and the next morning when they go out at a museum of the creation of the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript and known as one of Ireland's greatest national treasures, they discover that they time travel again to 9th century Ireland, Obsessed with building a mighty wall to keep marauding from the Viking raiders from destroying the Abbey of Kells, Abbot Cellach (Mads Mikkelsen) expects his young nephew Brendan (Noah Jupe) and the DigiDestined (Charlie Plummer, Callum Turner, Riley Keough, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Jena Malone, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Matthew Beard, Sebastian De Souza, Emma Stone, Jack Dylan Grazer and Dylan Minette) and their digimon partners (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, Guy Pearce, Alice Eve, Geoffrey Rush, Kristen Wiig, Jamie Bell, Brie Larson, Pierre Niney, Matt Smith, Jason Isaacs, Woody Harrelson and Tom Felton) to follow in his footsteps. Brendan and The DigiDestined has apprenticed in the scriptorium of the monastery and has heard the story of Aidan of Iona (Colin Farrell), a master illuminator who is working on the Book of Iona. Later, Aidan himself comes to the monastery, accompanied by his cat Pangur Bán. Brother Aidan has escaped from the Vikings who have destroyed his own monastery, and had brought the unfinished Book of Iona with him. Taking Brendan and The DigiDestined under his wing, Aidan asks The DigiDestined to venture into the forest to look for gall nuts to make ink and trusted with permission from Gennai (Jared Leto). there they meet a forest spirit named Aisling (Dafne Kaan). She is suspicious of The DigiDestined at first, but eventually guides them to the gall nuts and befriends with them. later Cellach learns of this and forbids Brendan from leaving the abbey's confines, The DigiDestined and Brendan secretly defies it as Aidan teaches them illumination while Aisling introduces them to a wider world. Eventually, Brendan and The DigiDestined learns that Aidan needs his help to finish Book of Iona due to his failing eyes and hands. However, Aidan finds that a special lens he possessed was lost when he left Iona: the Eye of Collum-Cille. Aidan reveals that his predecessor obtained it from Crom Cruach, a pagan god with whom The DigiDestined and Brendan had a frightful encounter prior. When The DigiDestined and Brendan tries to sneak out of the abbey to go to Crom's cave to obtain the other eye, they are caught and confined to his room by Cellach. Pangur Bán ventures into the forest to get Aisling's help. Aisling frees Brendan and The DigiDestined, using her magic to turn Pangur Bán into a spirit that retrieves the key to his room, and together they flee into the forest. When The DigiDestined and Brendan tells Aisling of their plan, she pleads with them not to go through with it, revealing to him that Crom Cruach killed her people and her mother and will surely kill him as well. The DigiDestined tells her that if they doesn't try to get the eye, Brendan will never complete the book. Eventually Aisling agrees to help them and manages to get The DigiDestined and Brendan into the cave, but not before being consumed by Crom's darkness in the process. After some struggling, The DigiDestined and Brendan defeats Crom by using Imperialdramon Fighter Mode and Omnimon to get the god's remaining eye and imprisoning them in a circle of fireball. With the eye in his possession, Brendan goes back to the Abbey and continues to help Aidan in secret with Gennai (Andrew Garfield). Shortly thereafter, the Vikings arrive and Cellach locks The DigiDestined, Gennai (Ewan McGregor), his nephew and Aidan in the scriptorium as his plan to protect everyone from the invaders falls apart. Managing to escape the carnage, The DigiDestined and their Digimon, Gennai (David Tennant), Brendan and Aidan travel across Ireland, finishing the Book of Iona over the years (expect for the DigiDestined in still their age due to time travel). Inheriting the book after Aidan's passing, a now adult Brendan (Cillian Murphy) ends up back in the forest of his youth where he meets Aisling in her white wolf form (Christina Hendricks in an uncredited secret role), and she guides them to the village. It turned out only the villagers who made it to the abbey tower survived, along with a guilt-ridden Cellach. Now near death, Cellach finally reunites with The DigiDestined and the nephew that they thought had perished in the massacre long ago, and is able to see the completed Book of Kells.
