The 1966 film was Zeman's charming return to Verne and the inventions of the age of steam, and his first widescreen film.

Inspired by the motifs of Art Nouveau advertisements and newspaper collages, Zeman developed his experience from The Invention of Doom. Based on Verne's novel Two Years of Vacation, the film tells the adventures of five boys in an airship inadvertently hijacked and a journalist searching for the secrets of a villainous tycoon. The work has won awards at the Tehran, Rimini and Sorrento film festivals.

Description

Based on the novel, it tells of the two-year vacation adventures of five boys. The story begins at the Prague Jubilee Exhibition in 1891. Five boys meet in Prague at the Prague Exhibition Grounds, where they see a fantastic miracle - dirigible airship owned by the businessman (and trickster) Findejs. To back up his advertising, Findejs offers the boys a trip around Prague free of charge, but when paying guests appear, he tries to throw them out. He fails to evict them and the boys suddenly find themselves alone in the airship over the city. It proves to be anything but dirigible, and they cannot control where it goes! First, they skim safely across Europe, but then they crash on an unknown island in the middle of the ocean. Here they enjoy a number of typical Verne adventures until they are rescued by an expedition organized by the sympathetic journalist Ardan.
