Every version of Le Tour du Monde en Quatre-Vingts Jours — the books & films, compared across media.
Jules Verne's Le Tour du Monde en Quatre-Vingts Jours centres on Phileas Fogg — a punctual man who, during a conversation about a bank robbery, wagers he can circle the globe in eighty days. That bet against time has since been retold on screen twice, each version finding its own cast of characters and comic tone for the same race around the world.
