The Shallows (2016) is a survival thriller directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. The film follows Nancy (Blake Lively), a young woman who travels to a remote beach in Mexico to surf and heal after a personal loss.

While surfing alone, she encounters a massive great white shark that attacks her and leaves her stranded on a small rock outcrop about 200 yards from the shore.

As the tide rises and the shark circles her, Nancy must use her resourcefulness and determination to survive. Trapped in the open water with limited options and facing the constant threat of the shark, Nancy fights to stay alive and find a way to reach safety.

The film combines suspense, tension, and survival instincts as Nancy battles both the shark and her own fear to survive the ordeal.
