Synopsis
El misterioso y solitario Phileas Fogg deja su vida disciplinada para superar la apuesta que ha hecho con los miembros de su club: podrá dar la vuelta al mundo en 80 días. Así comienza la historia de un viaje que sale de Londres y sigue por Francia, Italia, Suez, Bombay, Calcuta, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco y Nueva York. En tren, en barco, en elefante o en trineo, esta tremenda serie de aventuras ofrece también un mosaico de culturas y costumbres distintas y divertidas.
Undoubtedly one of the most celebrated tales of all time, this is both high-octane thriller and fascinating travelogue. Phileas Fogg, intrepid Victorian gentleman about town, accepts a wager that he cannot travel around the world in 80 days. Naturally, he immediately sets off, accompanied by his French manservant, Passepartout. They are pursued by a police officer, Detective Fix, who is foolishly convinced that Fogg is a bank robber. Much hilarity ensues. On the way, Fogg bravely rescues Aouda, a beautiful Indian princess, from a ceremony of ritual sacrifice. Unexpectedly, our thriller becomes a love story.
