Intrepid reporter Tintin (Jamie Bell – The Eagle) and his faithful canine companion Snowy find themselves embroiled in a frantic chase across the globe to uncover the secrets of the Unicorn, a 17th century vessel that could lead to untold treasures. Along the way he teams up with Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis – Rise of the Planet of the Apes) who holds the key to this mystery just as Ivanovich Sakharine (Daniel Craig – Casino Royale) looks to steal it for himself.
