Around the World in Eighty Days February 12, 2010

The staid and resplendently wealthy Phileas Fogg has taken a gentleman's wager that the world cannot be crossed in 80 days. So confident is he in his calculations that it is possible that he wagers his entire fortune on the fact that he and his unreliable but ever-faithful valet can pull off this dazzling feat. Follow Fogg in a whirlwind race aboard steamships, locomotives, and pachyderms as he discovers countless exotic locales, from Calcutta to Hong Kong. Will bandits, an act of chivalry, a herd of buffalo, or an unrelenting inspector from Scotland Yard keep him from his impossible task?
