Set in an island paradise during World War II, South Pacific is based on the anecdotes of a real-life U.S. Navy commander and follows two parallel love stories threatened by the dangers of prejudice and war.

Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with Emile, a mature French plantation owner who has two children from his late Polynesian wife. At the same time, U.S. Lieutenant Cable falls for a beautiful island native named Liat.

Both Americans find themselves struggling to reconcile their own cultural prejudices with their amorous feelings, all the while under the dark cloud of a war that is coming ever closer to their island paradise.
