Alleged screen adaptations of this story include several that take essentially nothing from the book except for the title and general concept. Sometimes they involve some sort of burrowing mole vehicle with a giant drill on the front, a trope that was probably introduced to this subgenre by Edgar Rice Burroughs' At The Earth's Core (likely inspired by real-world tunnel-boring machines). The "Journey to the Center of the Earth" ride at Tokyo DisneySea seems also to be in this category--they imagine that the subterranean explorations are being carried out by Captain Nemo from his volcano base!
