The story follows Tuck Pendleton (Dennis Quaid), a test pilot who volunteers for an experimental miniaturization program.

However, an accident causes Tuck to be injected into the body of a hypochondriac grocery clerk, Jack Putter (Martin Short), instead.

Inside Jack’s body, Tuck navigates a series of humorous and perilous situations while trying to find a way to return to his normal size. Jack, initially unaware of the situation, starts experiencing strange sensations and ultimately becomes an unwitting participant in Tuck’s adventure. Meanwhile, Tuck’s girlfriend, Lydia (Meg Ryan), becomes involved as they try to outwit the villainous corporation behind the experiment.

The film’s visual effects are notable for their creative depiction of the microscopic world within Jack’s body, including imaginative sequences inside his bloodstream and organs. The blend of physical comedy and special effects, along with the chemistry between Quaid and Short, drives the film’s humor and charm.
