Synopsis

Dave Ming Chang (Eddie Murphy) may be the ultimate fish out of water. There's something about him that's not quite right - for starters, he seems remarkably out of place in New York City and uncomfortable in his own body and there's a reason for this. "Dave" is not a man at all, but a ship made in the image of its miniature-sized captain.

So let's meet Dave. He's forty-something, pleasant looking and nattily dressed, even if his attire - an all-white suit, black tie and a neat black handkerchief tucked in his pocket - harkens back to the disco-centric '70s. But beyond his odd apparel, there's something not quite right about Dave. He's definitely not from the neighbourhood...not even close. Even the way he walks is, well odd.

He's just not comfortable in his own body, which could well be because inside "Dave" is a crew of well-trained miniature people - a world within a world - that exhaustingly and feverishly attempts to direct Dave's every action and conversation.

But Dave's crew, under the direction of the Captain from whom Dave takes his appearance - is experiencing a steep learning curve. As Dave - that is, those inside Dave - slowly navigates his way through various physical challenges, they begin to experience something with even more profound effects. A glimmer of emotion sweeps over the crew, which hails from a place that discourages emotion and individuality. Dave is changing - from the inside-out, and from the outside-in.
