Plot Summary
Plot synopsis
Down on his luck Navy pilot
Tuck Pendleton (Dennis Quaid) is selected as a guinea pig to take place in an
experimental project which will have him placed in submersible pod, miniaturized
to microscopic size and injected into the body of a rabbit. Immediately after
being miniaturized, the experiment takes a bad turn when the lab is attacked.
The experiment supervisor Ozzie Wexler escapes with miniaturized Pendleton. After
sustaining a fatal gunshot wound, he injects Tuck and the pod into hypochondriac
Safeway clerk Jack Putter (Martin Short).
After establishing contact with his new host, Tuck must figure out how to get out of Jack's "Innerspace" before he runs out of oxygen.
After making contact with the lab, Tuck and Jack are informed that there is another group of scientists and capitalists attempting to accomplish the same goal of miniaturization for use in their scheme to sell the technology for use in espionage. The raid on the lab was to steal a chip vital to the process. While at a restraunt with Tuck's girlfriend Jack is kidnapped by Mr. Igoe and carried over the shoulder to a meat truck.
Now that they have the chip, they will miniaturize agent, Mr. Igoe, send him into the body of Jack, and extract a second chip required for re-enlargement.
Igoe's craft eventually finds a pod, but is disabled after Tuck jammed one of the pod's arms into a thrust port. Mr Igoe abandoned it using an ejection system, and attempted to crack the pod windows using a drill on his exosuit. Igoe was killed, however, when Jack's stomach ulcer acted up, digesting him.
