A Hilarious Behind-the-Scenes Comedy About the Making of Jaws

What happens when three Hollywood legends are stranded in the middle of the ocean? chaos. As the making of one of the greatest American films hits rough waters, it’s not the shark that’s the problem – it’s the actors themselves.

The Olivier Award-nominated The Shark Is Broken brings the legendary actors of Jaws—Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider, and Richard Dreyfuss—face-to-face with their most absurd challenges during the filming of this iconic blockbuster. With a broken shark and tempers running high, this laugh-out-loud comedy dives into the hilarious behind-the-scenes drama of a movie shoot that goes anything but smoothly.

The Shark Is Broken reveals the absurdities and frustrations of filmmaking, through Hollywood’s most legendary (and most dysfunctional) set, where the shark isn’t the only thing that’s broken.
