Edward Bloom elsker at fortælle historier. Han benytter enhver chance til at underholde folk omkring sig med fantastiske beretninger om sine store bedrifter ude i verden. Historier om kæmper, mystiske hekse, hvordan han fandt sit livs kærlighed og om dengang, han var ansat i et cirkus. Nu lakker Edwards liv mod enden. Han er blevet træt og gammel, men han får stadig et helt specielt glimt i øjet, når han fortæller en af sine historier. Det er bare ikke godt nok for hans søn Will. Nu har Edward ikke lang tid igen, og Will føler stadig ikke, at han kender sin far, for det eneste, han nogensinde har hørt fra ham, er løgnehistorier. Det tror han i hvert fald. Men selvom Edwards historier kan stå mål med de bedste eventyr, så er de måske ikke så langt fra sandheden alligevel.
