Super Shark

Persistent exposure of ocean life to a toxic drilling goo creates a colossal predator that proves nearly bulletproof and capable of moving on land. The creature destroys the oil rig responsible for the disaster and heads toward the Los Angeles coastline, threatening beachgoers and divers alike.

Dr. Catherine Carmichael, a marine biologist, hires local captain Skipper Chuck to take her to the rig and nearby waters to search for answers. They prepare for a perilous voyage, amid reports of other strange occurrences at sea.

As the super shark stalks the coast, a kite surfer is pulled under by the expanding danger. The incident signals the creature's reach beyond the rig and into leisure areas.

Carmichael samples seawater and exposes the plant's role in the disaster. She confronts Traymore's CEO, who invites her for drinks and dinner amid a tense corporate air surrounding the incident.

In a later interview, the sole rig survivor confirms the use of harmful chemicals to bore through rock and that a shark helped pull the rig down. The revelation raises questions about corporate practices and safety.

Carmichael theorizes that a hydrolizing agent may have caused the rig to crumble rather than natural failure. The claim adds a scientific angle to the escalating crisis.

Military forces monitor the situation as a submarine vanishes and a search plane spots the super shark circling the sea. The scale of the threat becomes clear.

In a bar, two female lifeguards scheme for drinks and casual flings, underscoring a carefree mood. The approaching bikini contest raises the stakes as danger lurks nearby.

Out on the open water, Carmichael and Chuck are ringed by the predator until Carmichael senses something about radio waves. She instructs Chuck to switch off the radio, and the shark mysteriously departs, suggesting the creature was drawn by signals.

The bikini contest winner, runner-up, and the photographer get swallowed on the shore as the radio playing intensified the predator's attack. The incident marks a public display of the threat's reach.

The Traymore CEO reveals he knows Carmichael has been fired for harassment and offers a briefcase of money to disappear. She accepts, illustrating the corrupt corporate cover-up around the disaster.

A despondent Carmichael is found drunk in a bar by Skipper Chuck. Chuck learns that her brother died in the Exxon Valdez disaster. She passes out and awakens on Chuck's boat, more determined than ever.

Carmichael and Chuck seek assistance from the military, which has developed a remote-controlled walking tank to confront the threat. A tactical, hope-filled plan surfaces, but success remains uncertain.

Using a boombox and external speaker as bait, the team lures the super shark toward the beach, but the tank's attack proves ineffective against the beast's armor and resilience. The creature remains a formidable foe.

In a last-ditch effort, Carmichael drops a C-4 charge into the shark's mouth, blowing the creature into pieces and ending the terror. The coast is finally safe, though at a high cost.
