Christopher Guard and Michael Hordern star in Shakespeare's otherworldly romance about deposed magic Duke Prospero, who inhabits an island with his daughter Miranda, their helper-sprite Ariel and the enslaved monster Caliban. A shipwreck brings newcomers to the island, and with them come complications and even danger. Miranda falls in love, Ariel foils two murder plots, Caliban gets drunk, and Prospero confronts the brother who betrayed him.
