Around the World in 80 Days

Around the World in 80 Days is a 2004 action adventure comedy film directed by Frank Coraci from a script by David Titcher, David Benullo and David Goldstein. It is loosely based on Jules Verne's 1873 novel of the same name, and for comedic reasons, intentionally deviates wildly from the novel and includes a number of anachronistic elements. An international co-production of the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Ireland, it stars Jackie Chan, Steve Coogan, Cécile de France and Jim Broadbent, with Ewen Bremner, Ian McNeice, Karen Joy Morris, Roger Hammond and David Ryall in supporting roles.

Plot

Lau Xing, a Chinese thief, robs the Bank of England and hides in Phileas Fogg's garden, where he meets Fogg and gives his name as "Passepartout". Though suspicious at first, Fogg hires him as his valet. He helps Fogg test his latest invention which breaks the speed barrier.
