In William Shakespeare's The Tempest, Plummer plays Propspero, a Duke banished from his homeland, who lives on an island with his daughter Miranda (Trish Lindstrom). With the assistance of the spirit Ariel (Julyana Soelistyo), he raises a storm at sea, bringing within his grasp the enemies who robbed him of his dukedom.

Plummer is the winner of an Academy Award, two Emmy Awards, two Tony Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a SAG Award and a BAFTA Award.
