Still reeling from the loss of her mother, medical student Nancy Adams (Blake Lively) travels to a secluded beach for some much-needed solace. Despite the danger of surfing alone, Nancy decides to soak up the sun and hit the waves. Suddenly, a great white shark attacks, forcing her to swim to a giant rock for safety. Left injured and stranded 200 yards from shore, the frightened young woman must fight for her life as the deadly predator circles her in its feeding ground.The Shallows / Film synopsis

The Shallows follows in the fictional footsteps of Jaws as a fictional shark attack movie, but there are a few shark movies that are actually based on true events (terrifying, I know).

The movie might be scary, but its location is anything but terrifying. Though set off the coast of Mexico, the movie was mostly filmed at Oxenford Studios, and on the gorgeous Lord Howe Island in New South Wales, Australia. Like most other films, much of what you see in "The Shallows" is fake.

Teen surfer Bethany Hamilton slowly builds the courage to return to competitive surfing after losing her arm in a shark attack. Based on a true story.

Efficiency, Speed, and Relevance. A pervasive element of The Shallows is the role of efficiency in shaping and guiding the development of technology. To some extent all technologies––“intellectual” and otherwise––came into being because we wanted to make our lives easier, and thus more efficient.

At its core, Past the Shallows is an examination of the inherent fragility of human beings, with a particular focus on young men. The boys' chief vulnerability is the power their father wields over them, which is in turn represented by the ocean as aforementioned.

The film opens with a young boy kicking a soccer ball along the shore of a beach. He finds a GoPro camera attached to a helmet washed up on the surf which he picks up.

Jane was just enjoying a day at the beach when a shark attacked her and she lost her arm. Now, she must face not only a physical recovery, but the psychological trauma of being known as the “shark girl.” This story is written in a free verse, a poetic style that propels the reader through the story.

Kon-Tiki is a drama based on an incredible true story with a strong focus on sharks. Thor Heyerdahl went on an intense crossing of the Pacific Ocean, covering thousands of miles on nothing more than a balsa wood raft.
