The film stars Jack Black, Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Amanda Peet, Billy Connolly, Chris O'Dowd, T.J. Miller, James Corden, and Catherine Tate.
Depressed at his job in the mail room of a New York City newspaper, Lemuel Gulliver convinces journalist Darcy Silverman to write a report about his (false) extensive world "travels" and his dream of becoming a writer. After suffering writer's block, Gulliver plagiarizes a report from other publications and is presented with a new task: to travel to the Bermuda Triangle and write an article about the legends of ships mysteriously disappearing there.
Upon arriving in Bermuda, Gulliver rents a ship and travels into the triangle. He falls asleep at the helm and is caught in a storm, leading to his unconsciousness on the shore of Lilliput. The town's tiny people view him as dangerous due to his size, and he is captured and imprisoned in a cave. Gulliver breaks free from the plough-machine and rescues Princess Mary from being kidnapped, saving her father, King Theodore, from a fire.
Gulliver is declared a hero by Lilliput's citizens and lies about his role as the President of Manhattan and Yoda, a living legend in his homeland. Edward, enraged by Gulliver's treatment, defectes to the Blefuscians and builds a robot using blueprints from Gulliver's Guitar Hero III game manual.
In the story, Gulliver, a man from the mail-room, is banished by Edward to the island of "the island where we dare not go" (Brobdingnag). He is captured by a "little" girl who treats him as a doll. Horatio, who had been spurned by Mary, reveals that Darcy was also imprisoned by the Blefuscians. Gulliver escapes with a parachute he took from a dead U.S. Air Force pilot's skeleton. Gulliver defeats Edward in a duel with Horatio, who disables the machine's electrocuting weapon. Horatio is hailed a hero and gets King Theodore's permission to court the princess. Edward threatens to kill the princess, but she punches him in the face. Gulliver helps make peace between the rival island-nations by reciting Edwin Starr's "War." He and Darcy return to New York City on their repaired ship. Gulliver, now a legitimate travel writer, takes Darcy to lunch after returning from another travel assignment.
