A good measure for just how big ‘Shark Week’ has become, this is the summer event’s first feature-length film – and it’s based on the true story of an October 1982 shark encounter.
After a yacht bound for Florida capsizes during an unexpected storm, its crew is left to drift for days in the chilling waters of the Atlantic where they become prey to a group of tiger sharks. With the hope of rescue dwindling, the crew must do everything in their power to survive as the sharks continue to hunt them.
