Based on the characters created 150 years ago by Lewis Carroll, Burton and screenwriter Linda Woolverton move the story forward to a 19 year old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) on the verge of womanhood. Her mother has arranged for her marriage to a milquetoast wimp of a man. The son of a lord who used to do business with Alice's father, this dull young man has no imagination and so when Alice begins speculating on all sorts of interesting, fanciful topics, he's not only unimpressed but also taken aback. Still, his family's determined the marriage go forward and lacking any free will -- or a personality -- he asks for her hand in front of a gathering of hundreds of their family members and friends.

在150年前英国作家刘易斯·卡洛尔作品的基础上，导演伯顿和编剧琳达·沃尔夫顿把故事搬到了19岁的爱丽丝（米娅·华希科沃斯卡 饰）身上。爱丽丝即将成年，在母亲的安排下，她将会嫁给一个懦弱的男人。这个年轻人是一位爵爷的儿子，他的父亲曾经和爱丽丝的父亲有过生意往来。他沉闷无趣，毫无想象力；每当爱丽丝开始遐想种种有趣的、梦幻的东西，他都无动于衷，甚至大为吃惊。然而，他的家族已经定下了这桩婚事，于是，缺乏主见或者可以说没有个性的他，就在众多亲友面前向爱丽丝求婚。

Instead of answering, Alice spies a white rabbit dressed rather nattily and decides to leave the spineless son of a lord behind and follow the rabbit down a hole at the base of a large tree. Once there, Alice eats cake and drinks a potion, ultimately winding up the size of the rabbit.

爱丽丝没有做出答复，她看见了一只穿着整洁的白兔，于是决定把爵爷那个没骨气的儿子抛在一边，跟着那只兔子滑进了大树根下的洞穴。在洞底，爱丽丝吃下一块蛋糕，又喝了一剂魔药，最后整个人变得和那只白兔一样大小。

Alice thinks she's somehow fallen asleep and this is all a dream, and so she's willing to just abandon herself to whatever's happening. That means that when rabbits, mice and even the roses start asking her if she's 'the' Alice, she doesn't freak out that animals and plants are questioning her, but instead takes offense to the fact she's being accused of being the wrong Alice. She doesn't remember these creatures nor ever having visited Underland before, yet they seem to believe she's the Alice who's meant to save Underland and slay the Jabberwocky. But the hookah-smoking blue caterpillar tells her she's not nearly Alice and sends her off to The Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp).

爱丽丝以为自己不知不觉地睡着了，眼前发生的一切不过是一个梦，因此她决定随遇而安。于是，当她遇见的兔子、老鼠，甚至玫瑰花都开口问她是不是“那个爱丽丝”时，她并没有被这些会问问题的动植物吓个半死，反而因为身份被质疑而愤愤不已。她对这些生物没有印象，也不记得以前来过地底世界；然而这里的居民却坚信她就是那个能够杀死恶龙贾巴沃克，拯救地底世界的“爱丽丝”。但是，那条吸水烟袋的蓝色毛毛虫却说她根本不是那个爱丽丝，并打发她去找疯帽匠（约翰尼·德普 饰）。

Meanwhile, The Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) has made Underland a terrifying place to live. Her twice the normal size head must house a less than normal size brain, as she's a little slow on the uptake and very quick to anger. The flip side of the coin is The White Queen (Anne Hathaway), an ethereal creature who is loved by all. The White Queen floats like a butterfly, and may have the ability to sting like a bee -- but it's well hidden beneath virginal attire and a Mona Lisa smile.

此时，地底世界的居民们都生活在红桃皇后（海伦娜·伯翰·卡特 饰）的恐怖统治下。红桃皇后的头比常人大一倍，脑子却一定比别人都小，因为她反应有些迟钝，脾气却极其火爆。而与她相反的白皇后（安妮·海瑟薇 饰）则是个飘逸的美人，深受大家的爱戴。白皇后像蝴蝶一样飘浮在空中，有时也能像蜜蜂一样刺人，但是这种能力被巧妙地隐藏在她无暇的服饰和蒙娜丽莎般的微笑之下。

The Red Queen ripped the throne out from under The White Queen, and everyone in the kingdom has been waiting for Alice's return for the prophesy to be fulfilled, the Jabberwocky to be defeated, and the wonderland that is Underland to be restored to its former peaceful beauty.
