Internationally famed oceanographer Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) and his crew of misfits set sail on an expedition
to hunt down the mysterious, elusive, possibly non-existent Jaguar Shark that killed Zissou’s partner during the
documentary filming of their latest adventure. They are joined on their voyage by a young airline co-pilot who
may or may not be Zissou’s son (Owen Wilson), a beautiful journalist assigned to write a profile of Zissou (Cate
Blanchett), and Zissou’s estranged wife and co-producer, Eleanor (Angelica Huston). The unsinkable Zissou
faces hilarious complications trying to keep his expedition afloat, including piracy, kidnapping, and mutiny from
his own motley crew Team Zissou.
