Summary

London, 1872. Phileas Fogg lives a comfortable but utterly unfulfilling life in London, spending every day at his club with his 'friends' Fortescue and Bellamy. But when he receives a hand-delivered postcard, with only the word 'COWARD' written on the back, it turns his world upside down. So much so that the usual belittling at the hands of Bellamy provokes Fogg into undertaking a wager--to travel around the world in eighty days. Fogg is accompanied by quick-witted new valet Passepartout, who has managed to convince Fogg they've never met before despite serving him his lunch at The Reform Club. And to Fogg's dismay, he realizes that headstrong journalist Abigail Fix is going along with them to chronicle the journey--seeing as how her article in her father's (Fortescue) newspaper inspired the original wager. So, begins the journey around the world in eighty days--but the question is, can Fogg possibly win the wager? They find themselves in the midst of riots, on the run from the police, flying hot air balloons, crossing deserts and oceans. As they meet extraordinary people from different walks of life and face challenges that could break them--can all three find the courage to keep going?
