Description: This version of the classic novel set in 1872 focuses on
Passepartout (Chan), a Chinese thief who steals a valuable jade Buddha and then
seeks refuge in the traveling companionship of an eccentric London inventor and
adventurer, Phileas Fogg (Coogan), who has taken on a bet with members of his
gentlemens' club that he can make it around the world in a mere 80 days, using a
variety of means of transportation, like boats, trains, balloons, elephants,
etc. Along the way, Passepartout uses his amazing martial arts abilities to
defend Fogg from the many dangers they face. One major threat to their adventure
is a detective that's following them. Why? Just as Fogg and Passeportout left
London, a major bank was robbed, with Fogg suspected of using the "around the
world" trip as an excuse to escape. Their path from London and back includes
stops in Paris, Turkey, India, China and the United States of America.
