Super Shark Plot Summary

What happens in Super Shark from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Persistent exposure of ocean life to a toxic goo used in offshore drilling spawns a colossal, nearly bulletproof shark that can even move on land. It destroys the oil rig that caused the disaster and then heads for Los Angeles, feasting on divers and threatening to derail a beachside bikini contest.

Dr. Catherine Carmichael, Sarah Lieving, a marine biologist, hires Skipper Chuck, Tim Abell, a local captain with a penchant for drinking, to take her out to Traymore Industries’ oil rig to investigate what happened. Meanwhile, two female lifeguards scheme for drinks and casual sex, and a kite surfer is swallowed by the rising threat—the mighty, almost impervious predator now stalking the coast.
