      Příběh o lásce a nenávisti, o mstě a odpuštění, vypráví o ztroskotancích na pustém ostrově. Žije zde ve vyhnanství vévoda Prospero s dcerou Mirandou, která za celý svůj život viděla z lidí jen svého otce a syna čarodějnice Kalibána, ošklivu, který tam žije také. Prospero magií přivolá bouři, protože se chce pomstít uchvatiteli svého milánského vévodství, což je jeho vlastní bratr Antonio, a neapolskému králi Alonsovi, který Antoniovi pomohl. S pomocí lesních duchů a víl rozežene trosečníky po ostrově, bloudí a cítí se ztraceni. Syn Alonsa Ferdinand se dostane k Mirandě, oba se zamilují. Nakonec se všichni sejdou u Prosperovi chatrče a on ze své msty upustí, usmíří se a dá svou dceru Ferdinandovi za ženu.
