10-year-old Arthur is living with his grandmother in a quiet country house. He has recently lost his grandfather, and sees little of his parents. His grandmother entertains him by reading stories to him. One of these stories is about the friendship of the tall bogomatassalai and the Minimoys — tiny elfin beings living underground in the garden of his grandparents' house. According to these stories, the Minimoys hold a wondrous and expensive treasure of rubies given by the bogomatassalai to Arthur's grandfather in gratitude for his help. Arthur has become enamoured with a picture of Selenia, princess of the Minimoys.
Arthur's grandmother has been given a two-day deadline to pay a large sum of money to a building developer named Davido, who has bought up her mortgage from the bank and plans to evict the two. Arthur takes it upon himself to find the rubies in order to pay off the debt. After stumbling across various clues written a few years previously by his grandfather, Arthur manages to find the key to the Minimoys' world. He is met in the garden by the "bogomatassalai", tall men resembling Maasai tribals, who tell Arthur how to get into the Minimoys' world by way of shrinking down to their size. This is done by means of a telescope and the power of a shining full moon. When Arthur is underground with the Minimoys, he learns of a danger to the little people's future — the plans of Malthazar, the leader of an army of mosquito-riding rebels named Seides living in nearby "Necropolis", who plan to conquer the Minimoys by flooding their city. Malthazar was once a Minimoy himself; a war hero corrupted by a seductive weevil, by whom he has a son called Darkos. After his corruption, Malthazar became a warlord known as the "Evil M" (people fear his true name will bring bad luck). Arthur's grandfather is his prisoner, and the rubies form his throne.
Arthur, in a moment reflecting his legendary British namesake, draws a sacred sword from its recess, which he then uses to protect his new friends from Malthazar's soldiers. The king gives permission for Arthur to travel to Necropolis, sending with him the princess Selenia as well as her younger brother. Armed with Arthur's new sword – the use of which they share – the trio embark. En route to Necropolis, they are numerous times put in danger by Malthazar's soldiers, who are making plans for the coming flood. During their travel Selenia explains Arthur that she is going to be 1000 years old in two days, so she would succeed her father until her own children get 1000 years old, so she has two days to find a husband, Arthur gets sad because of the age difference, until he learns they count years differently and really they are about the same age. (Betameche explains Minimoys are considered adults at 360 years old). Eventually, the questors arrive in Necropolis, but where the stubbornly independent Selenia takes the sword, and kisses Arthur, which as the first kiss of a princess, transfers her powers to Arthur, seals their wedding and makes Arthur the future king. Then Selenia confronts Malthazar alone. Malthazar wishes the first kiss of the princess to restore his original beauty, but after learning she has already kissed Arthur and she can no longer give him her powers, he decides to kill her; she, is captured and incarcerated, and put in a cell where she founds her companions are already captured. (The kiss scene was cut in the U.S. version, and the order of the scenes was changed)
While in prison, they find Arthur's grandfather Archibald, who like his grandson after him has become a Minimoy. This transformation has altered the proportions of his body, giving him a larger head, thinner limbs, long ears, and broad extremities. He has been teaching all his knowledge to Malthazard in exchange of food. Selenia feels defeated, but Arthur comforts her.
Malthazar lets then escape, just 3 minutes ahead of the flood, so he would make them suffer, but they could out run it using as their vehicle a clockwork car that Arthur, in his human form, recently possessed.
During the adventure, Arthur's infatuation of Selenia has been supplemented by comradeship, as well as by her own affection for him. While Arthur learns that custom says that newlyweds should not kiss again for at least ten moons, the princess Selenia decides she does not wish to wait and gives Arthur a long passionate kiss, before he returns to his human form. Now he still has an hour to save the Minimoys form the flood
After return to his own world, with the help of a royal advisor's long-lost son, Miro, Arthur is able to prevent the flood from destroying the Minimoys, redirecting it to Necropolis instead. Malthazar abandons the plan, as well as his army and his son, and flees.
They pay Davido with one ruby, but then he tries to steal all, Davido explains he wanted the farm because the ruby, since he once heard Arthur´s grandpa speaking of them. But the bogomatassalai capture him, and give him to the autorities (scene cut in the us edition).
The story closes with their vows, spoken by Arthur in his human form to Selenia, who sits in a tree, to wait patiently until the time is right for them to be together.
The ending credits then proceed, alongside scenes of every significant character (as well as the director, Luc Besson) appearing in Minimoy form to take a bow.
