The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou

Murray plays Steve Zissou, an eccentric and renowned oceanographer who has decided to seek out and enact mortal revenge on a shark that ate one of the men on his team.

The crew meets a host of obstacles on their journey, including pirates, kidnapping, and bankruptcy.
