“You’re gonna need a bigger boat!” - Roy

FADE IN: The open ocean, 1974. Filming is delayed…again. The lead actors—theatre veteran Robert Shaw and young Hollywood hotshots Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider—are crammed into a too small boat, entirely at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. Alcohol flows, egos collide, and tempers flare on a chaotic voyage that just might lead to cinematic magic--if it doesn’t sink them all. The Shark Is Broken celebrates movie history and peeks at the choppy waters behind Hollywood’s first blockbuster.
