At 78-years-old, Carl finds himself widowed and angry at the world.  He has amazing memories of his childhood and marriage with Ellie, his years as a balloon seller, and the dreams of adventure he shared with his wife.  Without Ellie, Carl seems lost.  When the city threatens to force him into Shady Oaks Retirement Home, Carl hatches a plan to get to Paradise Falls in South America--the destination he and Ellie always dreamt of visiting together.  The accidental inclusion of Russell, a Wilderness Explorer Scout, is the first flaw in Carl's plan.  The appearance of a talking dog is the second.  Up becomes a rolicking adventure overflowing with talking animals, crazy hunters, chocolate, and self-discovery.
