Synopsis by Mark Deming

One of the most feared predators of the sea is the shark, many species of which can strip a man to ribbons in a matter of minutes. But what prompts sharks to attack human beings, who are not their natural enemies? The Science of Shark Attacks is a documentary in which survivors of shark attacks share their life-and-death stories, as ichthyologists explain the attack behavior of sharks, how to keep yourself safe in the water, and discuss attempts to cure sharks of their killer instinct.
