Berlin, 1942: When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move to a new house far, far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people in the distance.
 
But Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different from his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.

和所有的男孩一样，九岁男孩布鲁诺喜欢的事情就是探险。当纳粹父亲随着一纸调令举家搬迁后，天真单纯的布鲁诺即刻在新家附近展开了探险。而这一次探险，布鲁诺结识了一位与众不同的新朋友——什穆埃尔。

什穆埃尔有很多秘密，他明明有很多“玩伴”，却从不与布鲁诺分享；什穆埃尔也很奇怪，他明明每天都能在广阔天地里尽情探险，却始终闷闷不乐……

一天，什穆埃尔的父亲不见了，布鲁诺答应帮他寻找父亲。当布鲁诺穿过阻隔两人的铁丝网，终于和什穆埃尔面对面站在一起时，脸上洋溢着莫名的紧张和欢喜。可他们都不知道，等待他们的，是难以想象的灾难……
