Summary: When his partner is killed by the mysterious and possibly nonexistent Jaguar Shark, Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) and his Team Zissou crew set off for an expedition to hunt down the creature. Along with his estranged wife, a beautiful journalist and a co-pilot who could possibly be Zissou's son, the crew set off for one wild expedition. With an all-star cast including Bill Murray (as Steve Zissou), Owen Wilson, Anjelica Huston, Cate Blanchette, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Michael Gambon, Noah Taylor, Bud Cort, and others. Directed by Wes Anderson.
Critical Accliam: "This Wes Anderson movie is very quirky but fans of Wes Anderson will not be disappointed. The movie is part a loving parody of Jacques Cousteau, part character study, with a lot of wit and understated acting. Beautifully shot, it is more complex and straightforward than some other Anderson movies, but still has a mesmerizing effect and grows on you upon repeated viewings. Justifiably a cult classic," - IMDB
