An oceanographer embarks on a Moby Dick-esque quest to avenge a shark's killing of his friend and associate.

ABSTRACT
Steve Zissou is a renaissance man of the ocean, enjoying a reputation as a master of oceanography that sees him viewed as a Jacques Cousteau of his time by the general public. Trouble in our man's personal life arises from a variety of sources when his wife's possible infidelity is compounded by his partner's death at the hands of a mythical "Jaguar Shark", forcing him to set out on a quixotic journey with "Team Zissou" -- comprising an attractive young journalist, his aforementioned estranged spouse, and a curious fellow claiming to be his son -- to avenge his friend's killing and discover a spark capable of reigniting his fledgling career.
