Tintin is a journalist who has been on various escapades. This time around, he stumbles onto a treasure hunt when he buys a model ship christened "The Unicorn." By the time his apartment is ransacked and the model is stolen, Tintin knows something's up. But what is it? What's so special about The Unicorn? Although he doesn't know it yet, Tintin is about to embark on the most exciting escapade yet, and meet a new friend in the process.
If you take the treasure hunting of Indiana Jones and throw in the swashbuckling action of Pirates of the Caribbean and the faithfulness of Lord of the Rings, you've got Tintin. The movie is rated PG for adventure violence and some drinking. A man is shot to death in one scene, but the only blood seen is the blood used in his dying message. There is fighting between good guys and bad guys, including a duel using cranes (the machines, not the animals). A character is addicted to alcohol, but gets dry before the film ends. This same character says the reason he gets drunk is so he can forget what his grandfather told him about his heritage, which is a good explanation for why people turn to alcohol in the first place.
