Around the World in 80 Days

Phileas Fogg (Pierce Brosnan) accepts a wager to prove his contention that a man can go around the world in eighty days.

However, just before the time he leaves, the Bank of England is robbed, and a Detective believes that Fogg is the guilty party, and he sets out after him.
