Frank Coraci's remake of the classic 1956 film, based on Jules Verne's novel, stars Steve Coogan as eccentric inventor Phileas Fogg and Jackie Chan as his new manservant Passepartout. Fogg accepts a challenge from his fellow club member Lord Kelvin to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days and, with Passepartout, sets off on a series of adventures, picking up a love interest in the shape of Monique La Roche in Paris but trailed by Inspector Fix, who suspects the duo of a daring crime.
