Plot

The film tells the story of a widowed clownfish named Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks) who lives on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia . Marlin, after losing his wife, Coral (Elizabeth Perkins), and all but one of his children in a barracuda attack, tries his best as a parent to protect his only remaining son Nemo (Alexander Gould), but has a tendency to over-parent and stifle his son. Because Nemo has a fin smaller than the other (his "lucky fin"), and because he promised to not let anything happen to him, Marlin constantly warns his son of the ocean's dangers (although he is clearly subjecting his son to his own neurotic agoraphobic tendencies).

On Nemo's first day of school, taught by Mr. Ray (Bob Peterson), Marlin is horrified that the class is heading out to the edge of the reef, and chases after them. Nemo follows some of his classmates out to the very edge, and see a boat anchored out in the open sea. The kids dare each other to get closer and closer to the boat. Nemo is hesitant, but then Marlin turns up and starts talking about Nemo not being ready for school yet. Annoyed by his father's constant overprotection, Nemo ventures out to the boat and touches it, to assert his independence. This time, Marlin is correct, and Nemo is netted up by a scuba-diving dentist. Marlin, despite not having left the reef since Coral's death, swims after the boat as it speeds away, but cannot keep up with it.

In one of the sea lanes Marlin bumps into Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a blue tang who claims she saw a boat pass by not too long ago. After a while of chasing after her, she starts swimming erratically, before wheeling around and telling Marlin to quit stalking her. It transpires that she is suffering from short-term memory loss. Deciding that following Dory will be no use, Marlin decides to travel on his own, only to bump into a great white shark, Bruce (Barry Humphries), who invites them to a "party" in a sunken U-boat surrounded by a minefield. His menacing manner belies his purpose: Bruce and his friends have formed a support group, to encourage them to give up eating fish, in order to improve the image of sharks everywhere.

While at this meeting, Marlin spots a diver's mask, which he recognises as the one the diver who took Nemo was wearing. In his excitement, he hits Dory's nose, who gets a nosebleed. This blood triggers a relapse of feeding frenzy in Bruce, who chases after them throughout the submarine as the other two sharks try to stop him telling him that fish are friends, not food!, and the word "food" exacerbates Bruce even more. When Dory reveals she can read, Marlin asks her to read the address written on the mask. She doesn't get a chance, as in the chase, Bruce accidentally throws a disused torpedo at the minefield, causing a massive explosion.
