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.

JENNY:
Was she nekkid?
Embarrassed to admit it...
EDWARD:
Yeah.
JENNY:
(matter-of-fact) It’s not a woman, it’s a fish. No one ever catches her.
Given the day he’s had so far, Edward isn’t inclined tofollow up on the issue. He starts to wade back to the bank.
41.
JENNY (cont’d) Fish looks diff’rent to diff’rent people. My daddy said it looked likethe coon dog he had when he was kid, back from the dead.
Edward climbs up onto the shore, completely drenched. He pulls up his pant legs to reveal three shiny leeches clingingto his skin.
EDWARD:
Shoot.
He starts to work pulling them off.
EXT. PATH BACK TO TOWN - NIGHT Edward and Jenny walk back.
JENNY:
How old are you?
EDWARD:
Eighteen.
JENNY:
I’m eight. That means when I’m eighteen, you’ll be 28. And when I’m 28, you’ll only be 38.
EDWARD:
(a little wary) You’re pretty good at arithmetic.
JENNY:
And when I’m 38, you’ll be 48. And that’s not much difference at all.
Eager to get off this subject...
EDWARD:
Sure is a lot now, though, huh?
EXT. MAIN STREET - NIGHT As Edward and Jenny approach Main Street, they find“downtown” has been transformed. Lanterns and streamers hangon cables across the street, and a small stage has been builtat one end to hold FIDDLERS.
The whole town is there in celebration of its newest citizen, Edward Bloom. Before he can protest, two WOMEN have grabbedhim by the arms, pulling him in to dance with them.
42.
The resulting dance number seems both choreographed andcomplete chaos. From FARMER to BAKER’S WIFE, everyone wantsto dance with Edward, who finds himself tossed around like astick caught in a whirlpool. Still, he’s having a blast.
Jenny grabs both his hands, and they spin wildly.
Beamen plucks his LAUGHING daughter away to dance with her.
Then Mildred cuts in to dance with Edward. It’s hard to hear over the MUSIC.
