The spacecraft Resolute is carrying colonists, including the Robinson family, to Alpha Centauri. The Resolute is attacked and colonists escape in their Jupiter landing crafts but are hurled into a wormhole, crash-landing on an Earth-like planet. The Robinsons’ craft, Jupiter 2, crashes into a glacial bed. The family evacuates before their craft sinks in rapidly freezing water. Eldest Robinson child Judy, a doctor, dives to the ship to retrieve power equipment. She becomes encased in ice, and with five hours of oxygen left in Judy’s suit, John and son Will set out to collect magnesium that will melt the ice. Judy guides her sister, Penny, through a medical procedure to treat their injured mother, Maureen. Inside a cave, Will falls down a chasm, landing at the edge of a forest. Will finds a crashed alien ship and a dismembered robot that he helps to self-repair. In return, it saves Will as a forest fire nearly engulfs them.
