Synopsis: Phileas Fogg, a scientist and inventor, bets that he will circumnavigate the globe in no more than 80 days. His valet, a Chinese man who is being sought by the police for a bank robbery - he was actually recovering a statue who had been stolen from his village and which was supposed to protect it - goes along with him. Later on, a beautiful French girl who is a struggling painter and speaks perfect English joins them too, despite Mr. Fogg's reluctance.
Appraisal: Mediocre adventure that should probably please children. The premise is based on a 1873 novel by Jules Verne. The theme of a stolen object which has to be recovered for the benefit of a community was used in Ong-bak (2003).
