Jules Verne, The New Adventures of Phileas Fogg

Based on motifs from ''20,000 Leagues Under the Sea''. Radio play with specially produced orchestral soundtrack and cinematic sounds. - A voyage around the world in 80 days has brought fame and recognition to the adventurer Phileas Fogg. But he has no time to rest: when the famous marine scientist Professor Aronnax goes missing on the high seas, Fogg sets out to find him. Together with his wife Aouda and his faithful friend and servant Passepartout, he boards the 'Abraham Lincoln' - the very ship from which the professor disappeared. But as the signs of a crime mount on board, an awe-inspiring adversary suddenly appears: The submarine Nautilus and its enigmatic captain Nemo. Are they the key to the professor's disappearance? And what dark secrets will they bring to light from the depths of the seas?

With daring and ingenuity, Phileas Fogg has earned the respect and friendship of the enigmatic Captain Nemo and completed his search for Professor Aronnax. But an almost unbelievable discovery keeps him on board the submarine Nautilus: at the bottom of the sea, the crew comes across the remains of the legendary city of Atlantis. Together with Nemo and Aronnax, Phileas Fogg ventures into the ruins, where sunken treasures, enchanted palaces and unspeakable horrors await the adventurers. But the greatest danger is brewing on board the Nautilus: Is there really a traitor hiding there?

The mutiny on the Nautilus is over, but the man behind it, the mysterious Robur, is still at large. In the middle of his search for the unknown, Phileas Fogg receives an invitation from an old acquaintance: engineer Phil Evans asks him to come to the Whedon Institute in the United States. But when they arrive, the supposed invitation turns out to be a trap. The trapper: Robur! The manically ingenious inventor abducts the world travellers onto a gigantic airship. With its help, he plans an attack that will change the course of history and the face of the world forever. A confrontation ensues at dizzying heights. Can our heroes put a stop to the madman?

A new adventure takes Phileas Fogg and his companions to India. There, the British engineer Banks has created a mechanical masterpiece on behalf of the Maharajah: a powerful steam engine in the shape of a life-size elephant. Transported by this impressive machine, our heroes set off on a journey through the depths of the Indian jungle. But not only wild animals lurk in the thicket, but also the ghosts of the past. For the English officer Munro, it is his nemesis from the days of the expeditionary force. And for our heroes, it is an old acquaintance who is once again reaching out for power. The journey into the jungle soon becomes a fight to the death. Will Phileas Fogg, Aouda and Passepartout also pass this challenge?
