The film, based on a real family and their true events, tells the story of a young postulate, Maria (Andrews), who is sent off to work as a governess to seven unruly children. The Von Trapp family is run, in military style, by the seemingly cold-hearted Captain Von Trapp (Plummer), a lonely widowed naval officer. Seeing how badly he and his children need companionship, he proposes to the Baroness Schraeder (Parker), a mutual friend of beloved family friend Max Detweiler (Haydn). It is the baroness who soon realizes that it's Maria the captain really loves. It is nearly bliss for the newly formed family who loves to sing together - except for the cloud looming over the horizon: Hitler is ascending to power, forcing Von Trapp to decide whether to join the Nazi party or force his family to leave their home forever.
