Jaws 3-D Plot Summary
What happens in Jaws 3-D from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
As the chief engineer at SeaWorld Orlando, Michael “Mike” Brody (son of the respected police chief Martin Brody) skillfully manages the daily operations of the park alongside his girlfriend, Kathryn “Kay” Morgan, a senior biologist at the facility. The aquatic attraction features exhilarating elements, including newly built underwater tunnels that offer a stunning view into the depths of marine life. Yet, beneath the serene surface, troubling signs begin to emerge.
When the lagoon gates malfunction, a formidable great white shark silently slips into the waters of the park, its presence only made known by the sudden vanishing of unsuspecting water skiers. As Kay and her team grow increasingly anxious, they note that the resident dolphins—particularly Cindy and Sandy—refuse to leave their enclosure, sensing the lurking peril beneath the waves.
