The Shark is Broken takes the audience behind the scenes of the troubled filming of Jaws where actors Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider are stuck aboard the Orca, waiting for the malfunctioning mechanical shark, Bruce, to cooperate. As tensions rise and filming is continuously delayed, sharp wits and sharper egos collide in a series of hilarious and profound exchanges. What begins as professional workplace frustration, quickly turns to deeply personal and heartfelt conversations between the actors. Bitingly intense, pun intended, The Shark is Broken examines what really went on behind the scenes of this blockbuster film.
