Shrek (Mike Myers) is a large, scary, green monster who lives a quiet life in his home in a swamp, but this life is disturbed when he help Donkey (Eddie Murphy) who is talkative and who escapes from his owner. Donkey can talk with people so his owner tries to sell him because soldiers of Duloc buy some rare goods and animals. The Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) gets involved in ruling a “perfect kingdom” and uses the Magic Mirror to select a princess bride who he can marry in order to become the king. He chooses Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz). She is captive in a castle where a Dragon lives. The Mirror tries to warn Farquaad about Fiona’s secret, but Farquaad ignores it.
Farquaad holds a tournament to select a knight worthy rescuing Princess Fiona, but then Shrek and Donkey break into the tournament. Farquaad orders the knights to kill Shrek but Shrek fights them and defeats them, so Farquaad decides that Shrek is the knight because he is the winner of the tournament. Shrek rejects the order once, but he decides to go to rescue Princess Fiona in order to remove fairy tale creatures which are in his swamp now from his swamp.
When they get to the castle, a rickety bridge is in their way to enter the castle. They begin to cross but Donkey is afraid to cross, so Shrek forces him to move back and finally stepping off. When they enter in the castle, they split up to look for Princess Fiona. Donkey finds the stairs, so Shrek remembers a book which said princess is in the highest room of the tallest tower. On the other hand, Donkey also searches for Princess Fiona, but he runs into the dragon which is fire breathing and which is guarding her, so Shrek and Donkey run away but the dragon chases them. They manage to catch the dragon and Shrek attempts to kill the dragon but Donkey protects the dragon, so the dragon, which is actually female, loves him. Finally, they find Princess Fiona and go back to the kingdom.
On the way to the kingdom, Shrek gets falling in love with Fiona and she also loves him, but she has a secret. It is that she is also ogre actually in night. She tries to say that to him but he gets something wrong, so he gets angry and thinks she considers that he is ugly ogre. Therefore, he forces to take her to the kingdom. He wants to get back to his swamp. Donkey knows Fiona’s secret so he blurts out her secret but Shrek remains refusing to hear.
After that, Shrek lives in his swamp as before. Donkey can’t stand keeping the secret and leaving them so he tells Shrek the secret and what Fiona loves him truly. He finds that, he rushes to Farquaad’s castle to stop their wedding but he isn’t able to make it in time. Then, Donkey whistles so Dragon appears and takes Shrek and Fiona. Farquaad realizes that Shrek loves Fiona truly and begins laughing. Then Fiona shows Shrek her true figure, which is ogre like Shrek. Farquaad is surprised and he offers to kill them. Shrek whistles so Dragon appears again and she swallows Farquaad. Shrek tells Fiona that he truly loves her and they share a kiss that turns Fiona into an ogress all the time.
At the last, Shrek and Fiona get married.
