The story begins in the English village of Wall, placed close to the stone border which separates the real world from a legendary land, Stormhold, where humans are not allowed to enter.

Tristran Thorne (Charlie Cox), a 18 years old poor young villager, is madly in love with the prettiest girl of the village, Victoria Forester (Sienna Miller). But he has a rival in the person Humphrey (Henry Cavill), the village’s bachelor. As you can imagine, Tristran is ready to do anything to show his devotion and win Victoria’s love.

His wish will become reality during a night-time rendezvous, when a star falls from the sky in the mysterious land across the stone border. In order to prove his love and win her hand in marriage, Tristran tells Victoria that he will return in one week and bring back the star for her.

So Tristran ventures into the magical land and in his romantic quest, only to discover that the fallen star has transformed into a beautiful maiden named Yvaine (Claire Danes).

However, Tristran is not the only one seeking the star. Lord Stormhold's (Peter O'Toole) three living sons, not to mention the ghosts of their four dead brothers, all need ruby pendant worn by Yvaine as they vie for the throne. In order to became the next king of Stronghold, Septimus (Mark Strong), the seventh and the most ambitious son of the dead king will ruthless pursue Tristran and Yvaine across the kingdom.
