在这部环游世界八十天喜剧/爱情/家庭/冒险片中,故事发生在1872年的伦敦，一间俱乐部中，一位名叫福格（大卫·尼文 David Niven 饰）的绅士打了一个没有人认为他能够获胜的赌，那就是在八十天内环游世界。之后，福格便带着随从巴斯帕图（莫莱诺·马里奥 Mario Moreno 饰）匆匆的上路了。
他们首先来到了法国，然后途径西班牙，在欣赏了一场精彩的斗牛之后，两人辗转前往瑞士，而此时，尚不知情的两人却遭到了伦敦警方的怀疑，怀疑他们是一宗银行抢劫案的嫌犯。在印度，福格救下了出逃的公主奥达（雪莉·麦克雷恩 Shirley MacLaine 饰），后者亦加入了他们的旅程之中。之后，三人横渡大西洋，轰轰烈烈的照着目的地赶去。福格能否在规定的时间内完成他的承诺呢？
When this movie is made in 1956, one can circumnavigate the globe in a little less than two days. When Jules Verne wrote the story "Around the World in Eighty Days" in 1872, he predicted that one day man could accomplish the task in eighty hours, but which most considered folly to do in eighty days in current times... that is except for people like Englishman Phileas Fogg, a regimented man who believed all it would take is exacting work, the skills he possesses. He just has to make sure a train's schedule meets the required sailing schedule which meets the required coach schedule and so on. As such, he takes up what ends up being the highly publicized £20,000 wager from his fellow members at the London Reform Club to do so, losing the bet which would ruin him financially. Along for the ride is Fogg's new, loyal and devoted valet, the recently arrived Latin immigrant, Passepartout, who possesses unusual skills which could be major assets, but whose all consuming thoughts on the opposite sex could take away his focus from the task at hand. Although Fogg has accounted for certain transportation delays, he may not account for cultural peccadilloes he may encounter along the way which could also cause delays. He is also unaware of the true reason a man name Fix is following them, he who could also derail Fogg's task permanently. As Fogg and Passepartout proceed on their journey, they get into one misadventure after another. Ultimately, Fogg may find other things in life more important than winning the bet.
