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.

Scrambling in back, Will finds a liter of Arrowhead. Hands it off. Edward unscrews the cap, but instead of drinking it, he douses himself. Soaks the blanket.
Will pops the trunk. Starts to fold up the wheelchair.
EDWARD (cont’d) Leave it! We won’t need it.

TIRES SMOKE as the car peals out.
BACK TO:
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY [REALITY] TIGHT ON Will, trying to hold back tears as he talks.
WILL:
And we have to take Glenville to avoid all the church traffic, because thosedamn church people drive too slow.
TIGHT ON Edward, enjoying that detail. He’s focused completely on Will’s story.
WILL (cont’d) I ask...
BACK TO:
EXT. GLENVILLE BLVD. - DAY [STORY VERSION] The Chevy slaloms through the Sunday-morning traffic.
WILL (O.S.) Where are we headed?
WILL (V.O.) You say... INT. CHEVY - DAY
EDWARD:
The River!
Will stops short, the traffic backed up. He HONKS, trying toget around the jam. But it’s no use.
Then, up ahead, the cars start moving, shoved aside bymassive hands. It’s Karl the Giant, clearing a path by bruteforce.
Edward leans out the window and waves. Karl waves back.
EXT. ASHTON RIVER - DAY The same stretch of the river where it all began. A CROWD of more than 100 waiting.
WILL (V.O.) As we get closer to the river, we seeeverybody’s already there. And I mean everybody.

While Ping scans the horizon, Jing nuzzles with herboyfriend, Norther Winslow. It’s Ping who first spots theChevrolet.
PING:

The crowd CHEERS. The Ashton marching band PLAYS. JennyHill smiles. So does the Old Woman.
We PUSH IN on the Old Woman’s glass eye, where we see... YOUNG EDWARD: reflected. This is what he saw.
