Led by the resourceful father, the family must work together to survive in their new and challenging environment, using their ingenuity to adapt and thrive. The opening of "Swiss Family Robinson" captures a harrowing scene at sea where the family faces a terrifying storm. As the ship is battered by waves and the crew is lost in despair, the father reassures his terrified family with prayers and tries to maintain hope amid the chaos.
