In the new film Great White — due out on July 16, 2021 to theaters, on-demand and digital outlets via RLJE Films, a business unit of AMC Networks, and Shudder — a blissful tourist trip turns into a nightmare when 5 seaplane passengers are stranded miles from shore. In a desperate bid for survival, the group tries to make it to land before they either run out of supplies or are taken by a menacing terror lurking just beneath the surface.
