The new comedy, The Shark is Broken, reveals the behind-the-scenes drama on one of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters. Martha’s Vineyard, 1974: shooting on Jaws has stalled. The film’s lead actors – Robert Shaw, Roy Schneider and Richard Dreyfuss – are stuck on a boat, at the mercy of foul weather and a faulty mechanical co-star. Awash with alcohol and ambition, three hammered sharks start to bare their teeth. Ian Shaw stars as his father Robert.
