Just as a group of scientists are about to minituarise a pod with its pilot and inject it inside a rabbit's body, the bad guys bust in and the pod ends up inside a bumbling hypochondriac. Joe Dante's anatomical adventure was inspired by Fantastic Voyage, but he takes a more comedic approach to the proceedings. The resulting film is enjoyable if you're a fan of Martin Short's comedy. The Oscar winning visual effects have stood the test of time amazingly well.
