About this release
Renowned oceanographer Steve Zissou rallies an eccentric crew—including his estranged wife, a pregnant journalist, and a polite Southern co-pilot who might be his long-lost son—to hunt down the mysterious, mythical "Jaguar Shark" that killed his partner. Sailing aboard his heavily modified research vessel, the Belafonte, Zissou navigates a chaotic voyage marked by real-world pirates, financial ruin, family drama, and bizarre deep-sea creatures in this stylized, melancholic adventure.

Renowned oceanographer Steve Zissou has sworn vengeance upon the rare shark that devoured a member of his crew. In addition to his regular team, he is joined on his boat by Ned, a man who believes Zissou to be his father, and Jane, a journalist pregnant by a married man. They travel the sea, all too often running into pirates and, perhaps more traumatically, various figures from Zissou's past, including his estranged wife, Eleanor.
