Storyline

Ellen Brody still lives in the island resort town of Amity, and her sons Sean and Michael don't work at Sea World anymore, and some time ago, Ellen's husband Martin Brody died of a heart attack that happened because he was afraid of sharks. Sean is now a deputy in Amity. One night, during the Christmas season, Sean is called to untangle a log from a buoy, and when Sean goes to the buoy, he's killed by a great white shark. After hearing about this, Michael, who is studying to be a marine biologist, visits Amity with his wife Carla and his 5-year-old daughter Thea. Wanting to get away from Amity and spend Christmas with Michael, Carla, and Thea, Ellen goes with them to their house in the Bahamas on an airplane whose pilot is Hoagie Newcombe, and Hoagie starts falling for Ellen. Michael's friend Jake, who is also studying to be a marine biologist, lives next door to Michael... Written by Todd Baldridge

Trivia

Comedian Richard Jeni famously considered this to be the worst movie of all time, and a substantial portion of his stand-up comedy act was built around it. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When Michael Brody is attacked by the shark and is forced out of the submarine, there is an underbelly shot of the shark proceeding to eat the sub and a large, rectangular hole is visible in the 'shark's' stomach. This is only visible in the theatrical release of the film and the UK television version. See more »
