Synopsis:
FADE IN: The open ocean, 1974. Production on Jaws is delayed...again. The film’s 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.
From the Jaws of defeat, came a Hollywood victory.
