The Sharkfighters background

The Sharkfighters

In the midst of World War II, a group of U.S. Navy researchers in Cuba race against time to develop a shark repellent, aiming to protect American servicemen stranded in shark-infested waters from deadly attacks.

A Navy scientist, Lt. Cmdr. Ben Staves, arrives on a small Cuban island to lead a project developing a shark repellent, driven by a personal tragedy: his ship was sunk by the Japanese, resulting in the loss of many crew members to shark attacks. Despite others' reservations, Staves insists on testing the repellent on a live subject, surrounded by sharks, and refuses to let anyone else take the risk.
