The Shark Is Broken is a comedic exploration of the behind-the-scenes drama that took place during the filming of the 1975 film JAWS, which was directed by Steven Spielberg and starred Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss.
In 1974, the filming of Jaws is under way. The film's three lead actors — Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider — are stuck together on the boat Orca because Bruce, the mechanical shark used in the film, is broken. Filming has consequently been stalled for several days, turning into weeks. The Shark Is Broken explores the three actors' boredom, arguments, and stories told aboard the boat during the delay.
