Under Paris is an all-action French-language thriller on Netflix which sees a shark terrorise Paris during a major sporting event. And given that it’s set in the summer of 2024, when Paris is hosting the Olympics, it might feel a little close to home for those competing!
The movie, which is being described by some fans as the French Jaws, stars Bérénice Bejo as Sophia, a brilliant scientist who learns from a young environmental activist called Mika (played by Léa Léviant) that a huge shark has made its way from African waters to France. And when the beast breaks into the river Seine and starts terrorising the Parisian public, the pair must join forces with Adil, the Seine river police commander (played by Nassim Lyes) to avoid a bloodbath.
