The Sound of Music (1965) is a classic musical film directed by Robert Wise, based on the Broadway musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Starring Julie Andrews as Maria and Christopher Plummer as Captain von Trapp, the movie is set in Austria in the late 1930s and follows the heartwarming story of a young woman who transforms the lives of a strict naval officer and his seven children through the power of music and love.

Maria, a free-spirited postulant at Nonnberg Abbey, is sent to the von Trapp household as a governess. She discovers that Captain von Trapp, a widowed father, runs his home like a military camp. The children—Liesl, Friedrich, Louisa, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta, and Gretl—are initially mischievous but warm up to Maria as she introduces them to singing and play. Her kindness and joy gradually bring warmth back into the family.
