Fogg then realizes that by traveling east towards the rising sun and crossing the International Date Line, he has gained a day. Salvation comes when Passepartout is shocked to be informed that the next day is actually Sunday. Upon returning to London, Fogg asks Passepartout to arrange a church wedding for the next day, Monday.

Although Fogg is exculpated and free to go, he now has insufficient time to reach London before his deadline, and so has lost everything but the enduring love of the winsome Aouda. They arrive in Liverpool, where, still with just enough time left to travel to London and win his wager, Fogg is promptly arrested by the diligent yet misguided Inspector Fix.ĭetaining Fogg at the police station, the humiliated Fix discovers that the real culprit has already been apprehended by police in Brighton. Fogg buys the ship and then instructs the crew to take everything that burns, including lifeboats, to provide fuel. Alas, they run out of coal mid-ocean and the ship stops. Reaching New York, they arrange their passage on a cargo steamship travelling to Venezuela - Fogg bribes the captain to go to England. The three then travel to Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, and the Wild West (including the Sioux Nation). In India, Fogg and Passepartout rescue beautiful young widow Aouda from being forced into a funeral pyre with her late husband. Meanwhile, back in London, suspicion grows that Fogg has stolen £55,000 (around £5.2 million today ) from the Bank of England so Police Inspector Fix is sent out by Scotland Yard to trail him (starting in Suez) but must keep waiting for a warrant to arrive so he can arrest Fogg in the British controlled ports they visit. Later, Passepartout engages in a comic bullfight. Fogg buys it and they fly over the Alps drinking champagne.īlown off-course, the two accidentally end up in Spain, where we see a table-top flamenco sequence performed in a bar. The Thomas Cook agent who assists them offers to hire or sell them his hot air balloon. Having reached Paris they hear that a tunnel under the Alps is blocked. Together with his resourceful French valet, Passepartout, Fogg goes hopscotching around the globe generously spending money to encourage others to help him get to his destinations faster so he can accommodate tight steamship schedules.
Met with scepticism, he makes a £20,000 wager (worth about £1.9 million today ) with four fellow members of the Reform Club (each contributing £5,000 to the bet) that he can make the journey and arrive back at the club eighty days from exactly 8:45 pm that evening. In 1872, an English gentleman Phileas Fogg claims he can circumnavigate the world in eighty days. Also included is the launching of an unmanned rocket and footage of the earth receding. Murrow presents an onscreen prologue, featuring footage from A Trip to the Moon (1902) by Georges Méliès, explaining that it is based loosely on the book From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne.
