12 Days of Terror is a 2004 television film directed by Jack Sholder and starring Colin Egglesfield, Mark Dexter, Jenna Harrison and John Rhys-Davies.

Based on a true story, it revolves around the 1916 Jersey shark attacks, as recounted in the book of the same name by Richard Fernicola, in which a juvenile great white shark begins a series of attacks that takes place of the course of 12 days in New Jersey.

The beaches remain open, but a local boat captain named Cap believes Alex, having hunted sharks for much of his life.

Later that evening, President Wilson visits the Jersey Shore and gives a speech about change and safety from war.

In New York City, wild animal wrangler Michael Schleisser reads about the shark attacks and travels to New Jersey.

At a press conference, Museum Director Dr. Frederick Lucas and Ichthyologist Dr. John Nichols investigate the attacks and try to prevent another.

Cap offers Alex a job helping to put up steel nets to prevent future attacks.

While on the job, one person on Cap's boat thinks they see the shark and accidentally shoots one of the divers.

Stan and his friends rush to the river to save Lester, but can't find him.

They spend hours searching for Lester and even put out a net, but they still can't find him.

A mother having a picnic with her daughters sees the shark coming downstream towards a group of boys swimming.

Feeling sympathy for the Cap since people called him crazy, Alex says that they can find the real shark.

After the shark was finally captured offshore, an autopsy was performed, and it is said that 15 pounds of human flesh with bones were found in its stomach.
