== [[The Tempest]] ==
* ''[[Forbidden Planet]]'', though very loosely.
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam - the Witch from Mercury]]'' starts with a parent who escapes a death squad with her young offspring, flees to an isolated and sparsely populated land, becomes the highest ranking person there in her [[Char Clone|assumed identity]] Prospera, and orchestrates a revenge plot on the man who ordered the death squad that uses a servant with a name phonetically identical to Ariel, and includes [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|getting their kids married]].
* ''[[Tempest (1982 film)|Tempest]]'', directed by Paul Mazursky, is a loose retelling of ''The Tempest'' set in the 1980s, in which an architect from New York named Phillip Dimitrius (John Cassavetes) suffers a midlife crisis after learning his wife Antonia (Gena Rowlands) has been having an affair with his boss Alonzo. He packs up his daughter Miranda (Molly Ringwald) and takes off for Greece. In Athens he meets (and becomes involved with) a nightclub singer named Aretha (Susan Sarandon), and the three of them retreat to a remote island in the Aegean, where they encounter Kalibanos (Raul Julia), a strange hermit. When Alonzo and Antonia's own visit to Greece takes them by coincidence near the island, Phillip seemingly conjures up a storm that shipwrecks them, which leads to reconciliations all about (and a possible boyfriend for Miranda in Alonzo's son Freddy).
