Synopsis
The movie Jaws 3-D (1983) is a horror film directed by Joe Alves. It is the third installment in the Jaws franchise. The story takes place at SeaWorld, a marine theme park, where a giant thirty-five-foot shark becomes trapped and wreaks havoc on the visitors. The movie follows the efforts of the sons of police chief Brody to rescue everyone and stop the deadly shark.
The movie begins with the opening of a new underwater tunnel at SeaWorld. However, the celebration is short-lived when a great white shark enters the park and becomes trapped inside. As the shark begins to attack and terrorize the visitors, chaos ensues. The park’s management, including marine biologist Kathryn Morgan, must find a way to stop the shark and save the lives of the people trapped in the park.
As the situation escalates, the park’s owner, Calvin Bouchard, is more concerned with protecting the park’s reputation and profits than with the safety of the visitors. Meanwhile, Kathryn teams up with Michael Brody, the son of the late police chief, to devise a plan to capture or kill the shark. They are joined by a team of experts, including shark hunter Philip FitzRoyce.
