Confident Victorian gentleman Phileas Fogg wagers his entire fortune with fellow club members that he can circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days, setting off immediately with his resourceful French valet, Passepartout. Their journey by train, ship, elephant, and balloon carries them through a globe-trotting series of comic misadventures, romantic detours, and near-disasters, while a detective trails Fogg on suspicion of bank robbery. Michael Todd's star-studded epic turns Jules Verne's adventure into a sprawling travelogue racing against the clock.
