imdb get only movie summary java (xml)

Question

Is there some easy way to get the summary of an imdb movie as a String value in a Java-programm. I have a program that contains imdb-id's and I want the storyline of that movie to be shown in my application.

I don't know if imdb has some kind of easy way to do this. Because I have some troubles with using xml.

I prefer JAXB and this is how you do it with JAXB:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    InputStream stream = new FileInputStream("imdb.xml"); // use your stream source
    JAXBContext ctx = JAXBContext.newInstance(Root.class);
    Unmarshaller um = ctx.createUnmarshaller();
    JAXBElement<Root> imdb = um.unmarshal(new StreamSource(stream), Root.class);
    System.out.println(imdb.getValue().movie.plot);
}

public class Root {
    @XmlElement(name="movie")
    public Movie movie;    
}

public class Movie {
    @XmlAttribute(name="plot")
    public String plot;
    // Add fields for other attributes you want to read
}
