爱德华（伊万·麦克格雷格 Ewan McGregor 饰）生性热爱自由，成年之后，他选择离开家乡，踏上了环游世界的旅程。一路上，爱德华遇见了各种各样稀奇古怪的角色，经历了无数精彩绝伦的的冒险，而他日后最大的兴趣，就是向他人喋喋不休的重复讲述他的这一段奇幻旅程。 　　威尔（比利·克鲁德普 Billy Crudup 饰）是爱德华的儿子，他并不相信父亲所讲述的那些光怪陆离的故事，甚至对此感到无比厌烦。婚后，他同父亲中断了联系，一晃眼就是数年过去。当再次得到爱德华的消息之时，威尔才知道父亲即将不久于人世，他决定去见爱德华最后一面。然而，这一次，威尔终于发现了隐藏在这些故事背后的奥秘和真相。 When Edward Bloom (Albert Finney) becomes ill, his son, William (Billy Crudup), travels to be with him. William has a strained relationship with Edward because his father has always told exaggerated stories about his life, and William thinks he's never really told the truth. Even on his deathbed, Edward recounts fantastical anecdotes. When William, who is a journalist, starts to investigate his father's tales, he begins to understand the man and his penchant for storytelling.

SANDRA:
Yes, you both think William Bloom is avery smart man.
(beat) The problem is, you only see me as yourmother, and not as someone’s wife. And I’ve been his wife longer than I’vebeen your mother. You can’t discount that.
WILL:
True. But I’ve known him my wholelife, and I don’t feel like I know himat all. Or ever will.
With a look, Sandra acknowledges the stakes.
SANDRA:
I know it’s not easy. Just remember, he didn’t choose to be your father andyou didn’t choose to be his son. You just ended up together. You could picknumbers out of a dark bag and it’d bejust the same. If you ask me, it’s awonder parents and children can standeach other at all.
WILL:
But I understand you, Mom. I alwayshave.
SANDRA:
Well, clearly you don’t. But I’m not the mystery you’re trying to solveright now.
INT. AT THE CHECKOUT - NIGHT Reaching the CASHIER, Sandra hands over her coupons. Will is approaching with a Newsweek magazine.
Two checkstands over, an ATTRACTIVE BLONDE WOMAN in her 50’sis getting her change. Though she’s Sandra’s generation, shecarries herself like a much younger woman, with blue jeansand sneakers.
She accidentally makes eye contact with Will as he passes.
We HOLD ON the woman, who tracks Will as he reaches Sandra.
It’s hard to read her reaction: does she recognize him, orjust find him attractive?
Will notices the gaze. The woman turns away.
Will racks his brain -- does he know this woman?

SANDRA:
Before I forget, your father has papersin the basement I’d like you to gothrough. I wouldn’t know what’s important.
WILL:
(distracted) Mom, do you know who that is? Blonde hair.
Sandra looks. After a beat, the Blonde Woman turns again, semi-casually. Noticing that both Will and Sandra arelooking, she smiles a little before taking her cart to leave.
SANDRA:
(no idea) Was she one of your teachers?
WILL:
No. But it’s weird. She seemed to recognize me.
SANDRA:
(to the cashier) Do you know who that is?
The Cashier turns to look. He can only get a profile as thewoman leaves.
CASHIER:
Never seen her before. Pretty, though.
INT. GUEST BEDROOM - NIGHT A portable fan quietly WHIRRS in the corner. Turned low, theRADIO on the nightstand is playing a call-in AM sports show, just a wash of background chatter. Edward lies asleep on hisback.
