Plot synopsis
Jack Putter (Short) is a hypochondriac who begins to hear voices in his head. He later discovers the reason: A top-secret miniaturization experiment has gone wrong. Hotshot pilot Tuck Pendleton (Quaid) has been placed into a submarine and miniaturized to microscopic size; he has been accidentally injected into Jack's "inner space."
The movie's plot has been criticized as silly, but it has won praise for its special effects, which thanks to improvements in effects technology are more sophisticated than those in Fantastic Voyage.
