Around the World in 80 Days

Lau Xing, a Chinese man, successfully robs the Bank of England and attempts to escape the police. As he observes the police searching for him, he adopts the alias 'Passepartout' and becomes a valet to Phileas Fogg.

Phileas Fogg faces ridicule from other esteemed scientists including Lord Kelvin at the Royal Academy of Science. In a fit of rage, Fogg places a bet to travel around the world in 80 days, propelling them into an adventure.

Phileas and Passepartout take a carriage and leave London after encountering Inspector Fix, a corrupt officer intent on stopping them. They begin their journey by traveling towards Paris.

In Paris, Passepartout evades agents sent by General Fang while Phileas meets Monique, an aspiring artist. After a brief struggle, they escape Paris in a hot-air balloon.

Upon reaching Turkey, they meet Prince Hapi, who becomes infatuated with Monique. Using a parody statue of Hapi as leverage, Passepartout and Phileas bargain for Monique's release.

Arriving in India, Passepartout discovers a bounty on his head and they disguise themselves as local women. They are attacked by General Fang's men but manage to escape using clever tactics.

In China, Passepartout guides Phileas and Monique to his village, where they learn about the local conflict concerning the stolen Jade Buddha. Tensions rise as they realize Passepartout's true identity.

The village is besieged by General Fang's militia. In a courageous fight alongside his fraternity, Lau Xing helps drive out the attackers, restoring peace and the Jade Buddha.

Phileas travels to San Francisco alone but is tricked and robbed. Lau Xing and Monique reunite with him, assisting in his journey as they continue to New York.

In the desert, Phileas meets the Wright brothers and they exchange ideas on flying machines. Inspired by Wilbur's plans, Phileas suggests modifications that lean into his inventor's passion.

Arriving in New York, they face an overwhelming crowd and more of Fang's agents. A climactic battle ensues in a workshop, but they lose precious time, risking their chance to win the bet.

Phileas and the team realize they may still catch a ship to England and work together to build a makeshift flying machine. With urgency, they take to the skies in an effort to reach their goal.

The aircraft crash-lands in front of the Royal Academy of Science, just as the clock strikes noon. With everyone against him, Lord Kelvin falsely claims victory, but the truth soon comes to light.

In a surprising turn, Phileas realizes he has arrived a day early. The revelation that they crossed the international date line allows him to win the bet, leading to a heartfelt moment with Monique.

Just as Kelvin attempts to escape, he is apprehended due to his treachery against Queen Victoria, sealing his defeat. Phileas celebrates his win and newfound love, embracing Monique as they rejoice.
