Jaws 3-D (aka Jaws 3) is a 1983 horror movie and the second sequel to the 1975 classic Jaws.

Three dimensions

There was a revived interest in 3-D film in the 1980s, with a handful of other movies (e.g. Friday 13th Part 3 and Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare) being released. The cinema audience had to wear red/green anaglyph spectacles to experience the effects. The film tried to maximise the potential of the technology: the opening credits and the shark's final approach to the control tower being notable examples.

The 3-D effect does not transfer to television broadcasts, VHS and DVD, when the alternative title Jaws 3 is used.

Plot

The two Brody brothers from the original films now work for SeaWorld in Florida, which is preparing for its launch. A shark is captured and exhibited as being the first Great White in captivity. The shark's mother, however, has also breached the gates of the park.
