The Darling family children receive a visit from Peter Pan, who takes them to Never Never Land where an ongoing war with the evil Pirate Captain Hook is taking place.
In stifling Edwardian London, Wendy Darling mesmerizes her brothers every night with bedtime tales of swordplay, swashbuckling and the fearsome Captain Hook. But the children become the heroes of an even greater story, when Peter Pan flies into their nursery one night and leads them over moonlit rooftops through a galaxy of stars and to the lush jungles of Neverland. Wendy and her brothers join Peter and the Lost Boys in an exhilarating life--free of grown-up rules--while also facing the inevitable showdown with Hook and his bloodthirsty pirates.

This is the first live-action sound film version of the story released to movie theatres. The Mary Martin versions
Peter Pan,
Peter Pan, and
Peter Pan were preserved on kinescope and videotape, all for television, and the Mia Farrow version of
Peter Pan was also shown on television in videotape format; though it features the same characters and setting,
Hook was not considered a version of "Peter Pan".

Continuity:
When Peter is leading Wendy to the window ledge he is shown with the curtain blowing in front of his face and being lit from the front but the only light is coming from inside the nursery and the curtains are blowing in. This indicated that he is outside of the room but the next instant he is beside Wendy inside the room. A nearly identical shot of Peter comes a few seconds later after he has been seen leaving the nursery and is floating outside of the window.
