Based on the true story of the von Trapp family and adapted from the hit Broadway production, the film follows spirited governess Maria as she brings joy, harmony, and hope into the lives of seven children—and ultimately their widowed father, Captain Georg von Trapp—against the backdrop of a changing Europe on the brink of World War II.
