Dad's Preview:
In films of this ilk, it's always a bad idea when an adventurous
young person decides to take off, tell no one and venture to a secluded
place to do x. In this case, "x" is ocean surf. Our heroine,
Nancy, is catching some waves when a giant shark targets her.
She briefly escapes to a rock 200 yards from shore. So begins
a game of survival for the young med student. The tide is coming
in, so the rock will be underwater soon. It's harrowing, but
she's intelligent and resourceful. Can she survive? |
