When a shoal of ferocious great white sharks threatens a small breach community, Jimmy (who encountered the deadly sharks a decade prior and was left the sole survivor of his diving crew) must hunt them down all the while dealing with a group of criminals who sees a priceless treasure that happens to be at the bottom of the ocean as well as in the breeding grounds for the sharks.

Plot

A group of divers go searching for gold in a sunken ship. Among them are Jimmy Wagner and his father. However, a group of great white sharks attack the group, leaving Jimmy as the only survivor. Ten years later, Jimmy has married a woman named Carrie, and has a son Danny, although is still guilty over his father's death, and has developed a fear of sharks. A man named Volkoff asks him to help him search for gold in the same ship, although Jimmy declines the offer. The town mayor, John Cortell, asks Jimmy to patrol the beaches for sharks to prepare for an upcoming beach party. Jimmy agrees to do so, eventually witnessing a shark attack that claims the lives of several people.

Assigned to kill the sharks, Jimmy, and a group of his diver friends go shark hunting in order to kill them. However, the sharks attack them, and eat everybody except Jimmy. At a party one night, two young adults are eaten, and Jimmy rejects another offer from Volkoff. Jimmy and one of his partners return to patrolling the beaches, although after another shark attack claims the lives of three teenagers, Jimmy's partner manages to tag one of the sharks with a tracking device. Jimmy and his partner use the tracking device to track the sharks, eventually blowing several of them up with bombs from a helicopter. He is still uncertain whether or not they were all killed. Jimmy is called and threatened by Volkoff unless he meets him in private.

Volkoff once again asks Jimmy to help him locate the ship, although he refuses once more. As a result, Volkoff has his henchmen kidnap Danny, forcing Jimmy to arrive at the boat where Volkoff and Danny are. Jimmy helps three of Volkoff's men locate the ship, although they're all quickly killed by sharks. Jimmy and another henchman then go, although Jimmy stabs the henchman with a knife before returning to the ship and engaging in a fight with Volkoff. During the fight, an electric cable is damaged, creating a fire, and trapping Danny, and Jimmy is shot, although he still manages to gain the upper hand, and knock Volkoff overboard, resulting in him being eaten by the sharks. Jimmy rescues Danny, and the two use a motorboat to escape the ship as it explodes. Jimmy and Danny then return to the mainland, and reunite with Carrie.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Shark attack</span> Attack on a human by a shark

A shark attack is an attack on a human by a shark. Every year, around 80 unprovoked attacks are reported worldwide. Despite their rarity, many people fear shark attacks after occasional serial attacks, such as the Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916, and horror fiction and films such as the Jaws series. Out of more than 500 shark species, only three of them are responsible for a double-digit number of fatal, unprovoked attacks on humans: the great white, tiger, and bull. The oceanic whitetip has probably killed many more shipwreck and plane crash survivors, but these are not recorded in the statistics. Humans are not part of a shark's normal diet. Sharks usually feed on small fish and invertebrates, seals, sea lions, and other marine mammals. A shark attack will usually occur if the shark feels curious or confused.

Karl Sigmund Stromberg is a fictional character and the main antagonist in the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me. Stromberg was portrayed by Curd Jürgens. The character Stromberg was created specifically for the film by writer Christopher Wood. Ian Fleming's novel The Spy Who Loved Me was not told from Bond's perspective, but, rather, a Bond girl who is in love with him. The entire plot of the film has actually nothing to do at all with the plot of the novel. This was at Fleming's request; when he sold the rights to his novel to Eon Productions he requested only the title be used.
