Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the fourth and final on-screen pairing of Garner and Turner, who first starred together in 1985's 'Murphy's Romance'—their chemistry here is basically 'what if those characters became sharks?'
Released during the peak of Court TV and the O.J. aftermath, this TV movie perfectly captures that brief era when celebrity trials became America's favorite spectator sport.
