Around the World in Eighty Days (German: Die Reise um die Erde in 80 Tagen) is a 1919 German adventure comedy silent film directed and produced by Richard Oswald, based on Jules Verne's 1873 novel of the same name. It stars Conrad Veidt, Anita Berber, and Reinhold Schünzel. It premiered at the Marmorhaus in Berlin on 20 March 1919.[1]

The film was considered lost until 2021 when a print was found at the EYE film Institute in the Netherlands, and was subsequently restored.[1][2]
