Saltwater

ActionAdventureComedyDramaFamilyHorrorSci-FiThriller90 min

When an atomic shark starts tearing through the waters off San Diego, a group of lifeguards become the line between the beach and a spreading disaster. Rachele Brooke Smith and Bobby Campo are among the sun-soaked responders forced into a fight that quickly moves from rescue duty to creature attack, with Jeff Fahey and David Faustino also in the mix. The action stays close to the shoreline — crowded sand, watch towers, and open water turned into a danger zone — as the shark threat pushes a familiar beach setting into sci-fi horror territory.
