Wes Anderson's (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums) latest work brings together Bill Murray (surprise...) as oceanographer Steve Zissou, who sets out to find the shark that ate his friend, and destroy it, possibly with dynamite. On the way, he has to deal with a man who may or may not be his son (Owen Wilson), the jealousies of first mate Klaus Daimler (Willem Dafoe), a pregnant journalist (Cate Blanchett), his immensely more successful rival (Jeff Goldblum), who is also Zissou's wife's (Anjelica Huston) ex-husband, and of course the dangers of the high seas (pirates, mutiny, unpaid interns, and the bond company stooge).
