An eccentric London inventor, Phileas Fogg (Steve Coogan), has come up with the secrets to flight, electricity, and even in-line skates, but the establishment 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 valet Passepartout (Jackie Chan) and thrill-seeking French artist Monique (Cécile De France) at his side, 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.
