About the film
Comedy legend Bill Murray stars as Frank, a grungy Rhode Island zookeeper who’s lack of hygiene is partly tied to mourning the death of his wife. Inside Frank’s body, where the real action of the film takes place, Osmosis “Ozzy” Jones is a white blood cell (voiced by comedian Chris Rock) who serves as a police officer guarding against threats to Frank’s immune system. When Thrax, a lethal new virus (voiced by Laurence Fishburne), shows up on the biological scene, Osmosis Jones finds himself in a race against time to seek and destroy Thrax before his deadly plans can bring Frank down for the count.
