Movie Info

When a top secret naval mission leads to the torpedoing of the U.S.S. Indianapolis at the end of WWII, it began one of the most scandalous court-martials in the history of the military. For five days the surviving crew members were left in the shark-infested waters, with only half of them surviving to be rescued.

This is one of the most dishonest films you could find about sharks. The scene in Jaws were 'Quint' explains his own experience in this incident didn't help, but more dishonest accounts of shark attack elsewhere all helped them get away with it.
