The story is very interesting and eye-catching based on Jack Black (Lemuel Gulliver) who is appointed as the boss of a newcomer but the newcomer is promoted and becomes his boss. Deeply grieved at this, he talks to the a journalist and convinces her that he could write a false report about his (fake) travels explaining his dream to be a writer. After a lot of browsing he copies various reports from the internet and provides the journalist with it and she, impressed by the report gives him a new and different task. The task is that he has to travel to the Bermuda Triangle and has to write a report that says that all the ships disappearing while going there is not true, it is some made-up theory. 

Upon arrival in the Bermuda, he rents a boat but a storm washes him up. He wakes up finding himself on the shore of Lilliput where he is confirmed as a beast by the place's microscopic 1-2 centimeters population. They imprison him claiming him to be dangerous and there he meets another citizen who is sent to jail because he is in love with a girl that the General Edward wants for himself. However, Gulliver breaks himself free from the prison and then saves the princess from being kidnapped and her father from a fire.  

He is declared to be a hero by the people and then Gulliver makes up a heap of lies telling them that he is the president of the United States. Now watch the movie for yourself and I can assure you that you will have a very bumpy, exciting and adventurous ride. The story contains a lot of hilarious incidents which the watchers will love and wouldn't regret watching the film.
