Eccentric London inventor Phileas Fogg (Steve Coogan) has come up with the secrets to flight, electricity, and even rollerblades, but the world has dismissed him as a crackpot.
Desperate to be taken seriously, Fogg makes an outlandish bet with Lord Kelvin (Jim Broadbent), the head of the Royal Academy of Science: to circumnavigate the globe in no more than 80 days!
With his two sidekicks -- Passepartout (Jackie Chan) and femme fatale Monique (Cécile De France) -- Fogg is headed on a frantic, heart-pounding round-the-world race that takes our heroes to the world's most exotic places by land, sea, and air.
