Den unge gutten Kubo forsørger seg og den syke moren sin ved å opptre på landsbyens marked. Han forteller storslagne eventyr og heltesagn ved hjelp av det magiske instrumentet sitt. Men han vet ikke at moren hans egentlig er datteren til Månekongen, og at hun flyktet fra farens rike da Kubo ble født fordi hun var forelsket i et menneske. Nå vil Månekongen ha Kubo tilbake, og han sender morens skumle tvillingsøstre for å hente ham hjem igjen. Det eneste som kan gi Kubo styrke til å stå imot Månekongen, er den magiske rustningen til faren - den største samuraien verden noensinne hadde sett. Godt hjulpet av sine to følgesvenner, en påpasselig apekatt og en klumsete bille, må Kubo legge ut på en eventyrlig reise for å finne delene til rustningen.

Jerry (Brad Pitt), en motvillig småkjeltring, har blitt stilt ovenfor to alternativer. Det første er fra sin mafiasjef som vil ha ham til å reise til Mexico for å hente en uvurderlig, antikk pistol kjent som "Meksikaneren". Alternativt kan han ende opp med en sementblokk på bunnen av havet. Det andre alternativet er fra kjæresten Samantha (Julia Roberts) som vil at han skal slutte med forbrytelser, og bli en ærlig og hederlig mann. Jerry resonerer seg raskt frem til at det er bedre å være i live med kjærlighetsproblemer fremfor det andre mer radikale alternativet. Kursen settes mot Mexico. Å finne pistolen er lett. Å få den tilbake til USA er en helt annen sak. Det hviler visstnok en legendarisk forbannelse over pistolen - en forbannelse Jerry etter hvert tror sterkt på. Især når Samantha blir tatt som gissel av leiemorderen Leroy (James Gandolfini) for å sikre at Jerry ikke ødelegger oppdraget og at Meksikaneren ender opp i gale hender.
