Based on Mary Norton`s beloved novels that have delighted generations, The Borrowers is a thrilling, fun-filled adventure through the exciting world of the little people who live under our floorboards.

Arrietty Clock (Aisling Loftus, Mr. Selfridge) is a head-strong teenage Borrower whose parents, Pod (Christopher Eccleston, Doctor Who) and Homily (Sharon Horgan, Dead Boss), are terrified of the 'Human Beans` who live above them. Desperate for freedom and adventure, Arrietty sneaks out one night and befriends a lonely boy who lives upstairs. But Arrietty`s adventure inadvertently reveals her family`s existence to the scheming scientist Professor Mildeye (Stephen Fry, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug), forcing them to go on the run into the big bad world.

Enlisting the help of Spiller (Robert Sheehan, Misfits), a leather-jacketed Tearaway with a roguish glint in his eye, Arrietty embarks on a daring mission to outsmart Mildeye. Can the Clock family return to their home in time for Christmas?
