When an underwater earthquake releases prehistoric goblin sharks and sets off a giant tsunami along the southern California coast, Malibu Beach lifeguards Doug (Remi Broadway), Heather (Peta Wilson), Pete Chavez (Warren Christie), Barb (Sonya Salomaa) and her boyfriend Bryan (Nicholas Cooper), plus ditzy community-service teen Jenny (Chelan Simmons) are stranded in a half-submerged lifeguard station hundred of yards from where a crew of four rival construction workers Colin Smith (Jeff Gannon), George (Mungo McKay) (beard), Karl (Evert McQueen), and Nancy (Renee Bowen) are stranded in a flooded house. With ferocious goblin sharks circling around them, lifeguards and construction workers have to band together to kill the sharks in order to get to dry land.

Malibu Shark Attack was filmed from a screenplay by Keith Shaw. However, Shaw may have taken inspiration from an April 2003 report that over 100 goblin sharks were caught off northwestern Taiwan following a major earthquake.

Yes. Although the species dates from 125 million years ago, Goblin sharks (Mitsukurina owstoni)) are still found in ocean waters around the world. A poorly understood species, goblin sharks seem to be slow-moving bottom-dwellers, feeding mainly on fish, mollusks, and crustaceans, unlike the ferocious, man-eating goblin sharks depicted in the movie.

When a shark corners them in the storage room, Colin, Pete, Heather, Jenny, and Doug decide that it's time to make a stand and kill the shark. As it swims closer to them, they knock over a steel shelf that traps the shark, then go at it with hammers, picks, and chain saws until it finally floats to the floor in death. In the final scene, as they wait on the roof for the rescue helicopter, Doug agrees to train Jenny to become a lifeguard while she's serving her last 20 hours of community service and Heather refuses to choose between Pete and Colin.
