A unique blend of live action and cutting-edge animation, Osmosis Jones is an epic adventure of microscopic proportions. It all begins when Frank (Bill Murray) unwittingly ingests a lethal virus and takes the audience along for the ride.

When the virus (voiced by Laurence Fishburne) invades Frank's body, renegade white blood cell Osmosis Jones (voiced by Chris Rock) springs into action to hunt down and destroy it. Unfortunately, he's stuck with his partner Drix (the voice of David Hyde Pierce), a painkiller-packing 12-hour cold capsule who can be a bit of a pain himself. Together they race against the biological clock to save Frank from certain death, dodging mucus mud slides, toxic spills, hurricane-force sneezes, and things you've got to see to believe.

It's a dirty job but some antibody's got to do it.

The live action sequences in this unique action adventure comedy are directed by Peter & Bobby Farrelly, whose acclaimed comedies include the blockbusters Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary. Animated sequences are directed by Piet Kroon, known for his work on The Quest for Camelot and The Iron Giant, and Tom Sito, whose 25-year career in animated film production includes such classics as The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, and most recently, Antz and Shrek.
