London, 1872. Phileas Fogg disrupts his quiet life with an outrageous wager: that he can circumnavigate the globe in only 80 days. As Fogg and his ingenious valet, Passepartout, travel by boat, by train, by elephant, Jules Verne’s classic adventure epic is brought to life in this funny, inventive, whirlwind tour.
