71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. That's a lot of space to find one fish.
When the clownfish Marlin loses his wife, Coral, and all but one of his unborn children to a barracuda attack, he promises that he will never let anything happen to the only surviving egg, which he names Nemo, the name that his wife wanted as least one of her children to be named.
Later, Nemo begins his first day at school and is frustrated and embarrassed by his overprotective father. Marlin has constantly warned Nemo about the dangers of the ocean. To show his father that there's nothing to be afraid of, Nemo deliberately disobeys his father by swimming out into open water but, in the process, is captured by a scuba-diver. Marlin races after the diver's boat but quickly loses it.
So, he determines to put aside his fears of the ocean and start the journey to find his son.
