Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: No, Phileas Fogg is not the bank robber, although Detective Fix thinks that he is for most of the novel. The real robber is a man named James Strand who bears a passing resemblance to Fogg. Fix chases Fogg around the world, convinced he is on the trail of a famous thief.
Detailed explanation-2: -After reading in The Daily Telegraph that a new railroad in India has made it theoretically possible to travel around the world in 80 days, Fogg bets his fellow members at the Reform Club that he will make that journey in 80 days or less; the wager is for the princely sum of £20, 000 (half his fortune).
Detailed explanation-3: -"Sir, ” he stammered, “sir-forgive me-most-unfortunate resemblance-robber arrested three days ago-you are free!” Phileas Fogg was free!
Detailed explanation-4: -Phileas Fogg, the intrepid traveller, is played by David Tennant, his sidekick Passepartout by Ibrahim Koma and Leonie Benesch as Abigail Fix, completing the travelling trio.
