David Tennant stars as Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne’s tale about a daring
bet in the 1870s to circle the globe in just eighty days. Ibrahim Koma plays
Fogg’s resourceful valet, with Leonie Benesch as the intrepid reporter who
accompanies them. MASTERPIECE updates Verne’s plot with exciting new
themes, characters, and incidents. The round-the-world feat would be hard
enough for the trio, even if someone wasn’t trying to sabotage them at
every turn.
Jules Verne’s classic adventure gets an adaptation from MASTERPIECE on PBS.
