Plot
During an expedition in Antarctica, a geological team accidentally discovers a Nazi laboratory from World War II that was kept hidden in the depths of the ice. A terrible secret weapon is hidden in the lab: an army of genetically modified sharks piloted by superhuman Nazi zombies. When they are awakened, they take to the skies, with terrible consequences for everything that crosses their path.
