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

excuse to escape. Their path from London and back
includes stops in Paris, Turkey, India, China and the
United States of America.
