- Synopsis
- Test pilot Tuck Pendleton is placed in a one-man submersible and reduced to microscopic size as part of an experiment where he is to be injected into the bloodstream of a rabbit. But industrial criminals break into the laboratory and steal the controlling microchip from the miniaturizer. One of the scientists runs with the syringe containing Tuck and accidentally injects it into the buttock of neurotic supermarket clerk Jack Putter before he is shot. Tuck connects a spy camera to Jack’s optic nerve to find where he is and then uses a broadcast mike attached to Jack’s eardrum to communicate with him and get his help. With Jack initially thinking he is possessed, Tuck tries to organize him to find the crooks, get the microchip and return him to full size before his 24 hour air-supply runs out.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Using a twist on the ingenious premise of 'Fantastic Voyage' and a pair of very different but equally irresistible leading men, Innerspace is densely inventive and consistently hilarious"
-
"It's not imaginative enough to be any more than an entertainingly good time. But it's an enormously unassuming, likable comedy"
