Plot Summary
Depressed by his dead-end job in the mail room of a New York City newspaper, Lemuel Gulliver decides to impress his crush, journalist Darcy Silverman, by convincing her he can write a report about his extensive world “travels”. After suffering writer’s block and thinking that Darcy will not want to hang out with a “guy from the mail room”, Gulliver plagiarizes a report. The next day, Darcy, impressed by his writing, presents Gulliver 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.
After falling asleep at the helm, he is caught in a storm and the ship is overwhelmed by a waterspout. Gulliver washes up unconscious on the island of Lilliput, where he is seen as a “beast” by the town’s tiny people. After the citizens claim him to be dangerous because of his size, Gulliver is imprisoned in a cave. There, he meets another prisoner named Horatio, who was jailed by General Edward Edwardian, because he loves Princess Mary, whom Edward is pursuing. After the island across from Lilliput, Blefuscia, orders some commandos to kidnap Mary, Gulliver breaks free and rescues her.
He also saves her father, King Theodore, from a fire by urinating on it. Gulliver is declared a hero by Lilliput’s citizens and lies that he is the President of Manhattan. Edward is angered by the luxurious accommodations that have been built for Gulliver and for being presented as an honorary general of the Lilliputian Army. The next day, the Blefuscian Navy lays siege to the city when Edward shuts down its defense system as revenge for Gulliver’s treatment. Gulliver defeats the armada, invulnerable to the cannonballs being fired at him.
