Animated adventure film bringing Hergé's Tintin to the big screen. With plot lines drawn from three Tintin stories - 'The Crab With the Golden Claws', 'The Secret of the Unicorn' and 'Red Rackham's Treasure' - the film follows intrepid young reporter Tintin as he joins forces with Captain Haddock to find the treasure of his ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock. A clue hidden inside a model ship bought from a market stall seems to point the way to the Captain's treasure. With the assistance of accident-prone Detectives Thompson and Thomson, Tintin and Haddock set out to solve the mystery. Needless to say, however, they are not the only ones after the loot.
