This film is a coming-of-age comedy following the life of Jimmy Livingston (Jake Gyllenhaal), a young man born without a natural immune system. He is raised in a completely protected environment within a plastic bubble in his room. Jimmy has the same experiences as other kids his age, but he must view them through a world manufactured by his loving but misguided mother. When Jimmy realizes that the woman he has loved since childhood is about to be married at Niagara Falls, he builds a mobile bubble suit to follow her, stop the wedding, and confess his love to her. In a race against the clock, all the while staying one step of his parents, Jimmy crosses paths with freaks, bikers, rock stars and a cult.
