Once upon a time there lived two dashing brothers who roamed the lands of Napoleonic Europe, vanquishing monsters, demons, witches and all such evil that came before them. But the foes aren't real, merely optical illusions... and Will and Jacob Grimm (Matt Damon & Heath Ledger) are conmen, inventing stories of magic and horror so they can fleece the simple, superstitious country-folk of a quick buck. But when the conmen's fairytale ride gets a good dose of reality- as they discover what's really hiding in the forest. This is the folkloric legend of two brothers who start out frauds and unwittingly become heroes as they are forced to confront all that their imaginations have brought to life. It's an epic battle between fantasy and reality, laced with spectacular special effects, loaded with incredible stunts and spiked with a swashbuckling sense of fun.
