* 单元影视 Around the World in 80 Days is a 2004 American adventure comedy film based on Jules Verne’s novel of the same name. It stars Jackie Chan, Steve Coogan and Cécile de France. The film is set in 19th century Britain and centers on Phileas Fogg (Steve Coogan), here reimagined as an eccentric (古怪的) inventor, and his efforts to circumnavigate (环航) the globe in 80 days. During the trip, he is accompanied by his Chinese valet, Passepartout (Jackie Chan).

A Game Boy Advance video game with the same name, based on the movie, was released a month after the movie.

The film finally turned a profit in DVD sales. The film is notable for being Arnold Schwarzeneggers last film before he took a hiatus from acting to become Governor of California.

One major threat (威胁) to their adventure is a detective whos following them. Why?
