I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new. - Passepartout
Join English gentleman Phileas Fogg and his French valet Passepartout as they attempt to traverse the globe in just eighty days, all in the pursuit of winning a £20,000 bet. Departing from London on 2 October, they must return by 21 December to secure the winnings, which amounts to half of Fogg's total fortune. Journeying by steamer, rail, and even elephant, the two men stop at nothing in the pursuit of the prize... will they make it back to London in time?
