Synopsis: In 1904, Peter Pan (Jeremy Sumpter) and Tinker Bell (Ludivine Sagnier) visit London and become enthralled by the stories that Wendy Darling (Rachel Hurd-Wood) tells to her brothers. Aunt Millicent visits the Darling family, and upon judging Wendy to be "almost" a woman, tells Mr. and Mrs. Darling to put more thought into Wendy's future and start to move up in social circles. She also suggests that Wendy come and live with her, which terrifies all of the Darling children. That night, Wendy catches a glimpse of Peter hovering over her bed that night and her nursemaid and dog Nana steals his shadow just as he escapes. Wendy is caught drawing Peter in her book in school the next morning. While chasing the delivery boy carrying a letter from Wendy's teacher to Mr. Darling at the bank, Wendy and Nana literally crash into him and spoil his chances of impressing his superiors. Mr. Darling chains Nana outside and reprimands Wendy before he, Mrs. Darling leave for a party, leaving the children with Aunt Millicent. Peter visits Wendy again, who sews his shadow back on. Peter talks about Neverland and Wendy is fascinated, while Peter begins to like Wendy. Wendy asks Peter if she can give him a kiss, but he thinks it's an object, so she panics and gives him a thimble. He says he will now give her one, so she closes her eyes and leans in. He is confused, so he simply plucks off an acorn from his shirt and holds it out to her. She attaches it to a chain and hangs it around her neck. Peter then invites her to be the "mother" to his gang of young boys called The Lost Boys. Before leaving, she asks to bring her brothers, John (Harry Newell) and Michael (Freddie Popplewell), and Peter reluctantly agrees, as he wants to make Wendy happy but wanted it to be just him and her. He grabs Tinker Bell and shakes fairy dust on the children. He then tells them to think happy thoughts and they fly off to Neverland.
When Peter, Wendy, Michael and John reach Neverland, they spy on Captain Hook's ( Jason Isaacs) ship from on a cloud. The pirates spot them and begin to shoot cannonballs at the kids. One knocks Wendy far away and the other causes Michael and John fall. Peter tells Tinker Bell to find Wendy and take her back to the hideout while he gets the boys. Tinker Bell, however, reaches the hideout without Wendy. Out of jealousy, Tinker Bell tricks the Lost Boys into shooting Wendy with an arrow by telling them she is a dangerous bird.They all shoot an arrow and Tootles' arrow hits Wendy, sending her tumbling to the forest floor. The gang cheers and looks for the bird they have shot. When they reach her, the boys realize that it was not a bird they shot, but a girl. Peter sneaks up on them to surprise them. They immediately stand in front of Wendy, but Peter moves them. He asks who did it, and the boys all say it was Tootles. Peter picks up an arrow and is about to stab Tootles with it, but Wendy stirs and they all realize she is alive. Peter tells the boys that they must build a house around her. Before they run off, two of the Lost Boys reveal to Peter that it was actually Tinkerbell who tricked them, and enraged by this, he breaks his friendship with her. Meanwhile, the Indian princess Tiger Lily (Carsen Gray) captures John and Michael by in her hunting trap accident, and it flips them upside down. They are in nightgowns without any underwear and are facing Tiger Lily. This causes her to laugh so hard that she falls out of her tree perch and in front of Captain Hook and his pirates. Captain Hook captures Tiger Lily, and found John and Michael in the trees when John yelled for them to unhand the princess. Hook then captures them and takes them to the Black Castle as bait for Peter Pan. All three of them (and Michael's bear Teddy) are gagged and left chained to a rock to drown as the tide rises. Wendy awakens and then exits the hut around her, only to find the Lost Boys on their knees. They all ask her to be their mother and she accepts after some convincing. They blindfold her and lead her to their hideout where she goes down a slide. It leads down into the tree where the hideout is. Peter tells her that they must punish the children for trying to kill her and begins to chase them with a sword. She, however, suggests that the children must take medicine and says littlest firs. This reminds her of Michael and John and how they never arrived at the hideout. She and Peter go to the mermaid lagoon and ask he asks them if they've seen the boys. Wendy and Peter learn that Hook has the boys and they go to save them. Peter and Hook engage in a duel and Hook manages to gain the upper hand when he disarms Peter and captures him momentarily. When Hook is about to kill Peter, the crocodile that ate Hook's hand appears, allowing Peter, Wendy, her brothers, and Tiger Lily to escape. John and Michael desperately try to open the gate while the pirates are occupied but it is too heavy. Then Tiger Lily kisses John and he opens it by himself, wowing her and making her like him even more. The Crocodile desperately tries to eat Hook but he and the pirates make a narrow escape.
That night, Peter shows Wendy the fairies' home and together they share a romantic "fairy dance." While Hook spies on them, he is distressed that Peter has "found himself a Wendy." He finds Tinker Bell and they exchange ideas on how to take down Peter. Peter reminds Wendy that they are just pretending to be a couple, and Wendy confronts Peter about his feelings about love. Peter becomes upset with her, and tells her to go home if she's not happy. Wendy, hurt, escapes to her little house and sobs until she falls asleep. Peter returns to the Darling house, and seeing that Wendy's mother is still waiting for her children to come home, he attempts to shut the window to prevent her return to them. But, after a struggle, Wendy's parents manage to reopen the window, refusing to let it be closed.
Hook finds Wendy and has her carried to his ship, the Jolly Roger. There, he entices her with a job telling stories to the crew and any pirate name that she wants. She chooses Red Handed Jill. Hook then sends a spy to follow her to the Lost Boys' underground hideout. The next day, Peter hears of a new pirate joining Hook's crew and says that he will run her through. Wendy gets angry and says that he should do it right now because she was the pirate and they fight. She, after the fight is over, announces that they are going home. Peter is upset and tells them they may go if they wish. The Lost Boys ask if they can go to and this makes Peter even more upset, so he yells at them to leave if they wish. Wendy tries to say goodbye to Peter but he keeps turning away. She simply leaves a cup of medicine and tells him not to forget to take it. The pirates are waiting outside and they kidnap the boys as they are leaving the tree. Wendy finds out, but she is bound and gagged before she can cry out for help. Hook goes down into the tree to try to kill Peter but is unable to reach him from the ledge he is on, so he poisons the medicine Wendy left for him. He wakes up to see that all of the boys and Wendy are gone. He goes to drink the medicine, unaware that it is poisoned, but Tink stops him, poisoning herself in the process. Peter is angry at first, but then realizes that there is something wrong with her. He puts her by a candle and tells her to stay warm, but to no avail because she dies. Peter begins to cry, causing a storm to brew in Neverland and that makes Hook think he is dead. He tells Wendy to tell her last story before she walks the plank. She begins to tell a story of Captain Hook. Meanwhile, Peter reaches out to children sleeping around the world, the Darlings, and even the pirates to sustain her with their belief in fairies.
Peter and Tink save Wendy and the boys from walking the plank, and they all fight against the pirates. Hook sprinkles himself with Tink's fairy dust, and duels Peter in the air, weakening him with taunts about Wendy abandoning him and eventually forgetting about him when she grows up. Peter falls, unable to fight with those thoughts and gives in to inevitable death. But with a "thimble" (a hidden kiss) from Wendy, Peter recovers and re-engages Hook, who loses his confidence and his altitude above the water, and is eaten by the crocodile. Wendy decides that she belongs back home, and returns to London with her brothers and the Lost Boys. Mr. and Mrs, Darling, overjoyed by the return of their children, adopt the Lost Boys; Slightly, who got lost on the way to London and arrives at the house too late, is adopted by Aunt Millicent. Peter, now with more respect for Wendy and her decision to return to London, promises to never forget about her and to return to hear stories before heading back with Tinker Bell to Neverland. According to Wendy, however, she was not to see Peter Pan again, and told his stories to her children and they will tell it to their children.
