From Academy Award®-nominated writer-director Wes Anderson comes the tale of a man who's having trouble just keeping his head below water.

As the leader of"Team Zissou" - his eponymous oceanographic team - Steve Z. (BILL MURRAY) is just about washed up; this may be his last expedition and he's looking to cement his place in history. Along for the ride are Ned Plimpton (OWEN WILSON), who may or may not be Zissou's son; Jane Winslett-Richardson (CATE BLANCHETT), a pregnant, gum-popping reporter for Oceanographic Explorer magazine; and Eleanor (ANJELICA HUSTON), Steve's deadpan wife, often known as "the brains behind Team Zissou." As they face down everything from mutiny to attack by pirates to a possibly imaginary "jaguar shark," Zissou is forced to recognize that not everything can be planned on one's journey through The Life Aquatic.
