Great White (alternatively called Shark) is a 2000 horror film written and directed by Zac Reeder. The film is based on the 1916 shark attacks in New Jersey.[1] The film's title was changed to Shark for the first United States home video release, but was kept the same internationally.

Plot

Based on the Jersey Shore attacks of 1916, a string of mysterious deaths begin to plague a small desert town. The events attract the attention of Professor Steven Miller (Richard Keats). At first, Sheriff Ross (Terry Arrowsmith) claims the incidents are the result of mountain animals - but the circumstances don't add up, and Miller is skeptical. With a shark sighting by a town drunk, and a chewed-up body that has washed ashore, Steven must convince the doubtful law enforcement that the waters of Laughlin, Nevada have been invaded by a twelve-foot great white shark.
