Steven McKray (Casper Van Dien), a marine biologist, travels to a small African fishing village to investigate a series of violent shark attacks, only to discover that sharks are not the only problem.
This movie features very few on-screen shark attacks. However, an attack on a tourist dangling her leg in the water is very realistic and in line with documented shark attacks. Instead of the shark taking off her whole leg, it takes out a large chunk of flesh, which later required surgical amputation.
Three direct-to-video sequels followed Shark Attack. Shark Attack 2 was released in 2001, and Shark Attack 3: Megalodon was released in 2002. Shark Attack 2 briefly mentions the events of the first film while Shark Attack 3: Megalodon ignores the first two movies entirely. Shark Zone followed in 2003.
