Based on the novel by Jules Verne, '80 Days' begins with Passepartout (Jackie Chan), an adventurer, trying to make it to China to restore a sacred object stolen from his village. He's joined by Phileas Fogg (Steve Coogan), who puts his rep as an inventor on the line to provide the transport. Bent on stopping them is Lord Kelvin (Jim Broadbent), who'll lose his fortune if the duo circles the globe in that 80-day period.
