From director Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes) comes the new action thriller PIRANHA 3D. Every year the population of sleepy Lake Victoria explodes from 5,000 to 50,000 for Spring Break, a riot of sun and drunken fun. But this year, there's something more to worry about than hangovers and complaints from local old timers; a new type of terror is about to be cut loose on Lake Victoria. After a sudden underwater tremor sets free scores of the prehistoric man-eating fish, an unlikely group of strangers must band together to stop themselves from becoming fish food for the areas new razor-toothed residents. The film stars Jessica Szohr (Gossip Girl), Steven R. McQueen (The Vampire Diaries), Elisabeth Shue, Jerry OConnell, Ving Rhames, Adam Scott, Richard Dreyfuss, Christopher Lloyd, and Kelly Brook.

Julie Forester (Elisabeth Shue) is the no-nonsense sheriff of a small town which goes crazy with Spring Break, when hundreds of university students take a break from their daily routine in order to swim, suntan, have fun, drink and try to make out with somebody else at the shores of Lake Victoria. Matt Boyd (Richard Dreyfuss) has just died, having been eaten alive by the piranhas. But these are not normal piranhas. They have been freed by a small earthquake after millions of years, so they are much more agressive that their Amazone counterparts.

Julie insists that her older son takes care of his younger siblings, but unbeknowst to her, he pays them so that they would stay at home on their own while he goes out in the expensive yacht called the Barracuda with the girl he likes and some more young people. The owner of the yach is Derrick Jones (Jerry O'Connell) a stupid inmoral young man which happens to be very wealthy. Derrick has planned the trip in order to record the tits of the girls. Jake is the in-promptu cameraman of the trip, and he records them while they are swimming and diving completely naked.

Julie finds Boyd's corpse while he is with Deputy Fallon (Ving Rhames). They way the gory corpse has been bitten is mysterious, so they'll try investigate it futher. They dive in the area surrounding and one of their party is killed. They rescue the remains and capture one of the piranhas, and they decide to show the fish to Mr Goodman (Christopher Lloyd) Even when at an aquarium, the piranha tries to bite them.

Meanwhile, Jake Forester (Steven R. McQueen) is having fun at the Barracuda. When his mom calls, he says that he and his siblings Laura and Zane (Brooklynn Proulx and Sage Ryan) will watch TV all day. Meanwhile, his younger brother and sister have gone out to the lake in a small boat. They are left stranded in another side of the island because the tide has taken away their boat. One of the piranhas run after Laura while she is half inside the water because she has cut one of her feet, but she leaves the water just before the hungry piranha arrives, so that she remains unconscious about the rist they are taking.

Some time later, Jake sees them asking for help. Derrick cares only about recording a girl (Gianna Michaels) doing sky-diving naked, and tells Jake off because he isn't recording her especially when she is getting wet in the water. Jake threatens him with the fact that he's the son of the sheriff. As Derrick has been taking coke, he gets serious immediately.

Some officers try to tell the party-goers that they must leave the water, but they don't pay attention. They just jump into the water and keep on dancing and drinking.

Derrick tells the Barracuda captian (Gregory Nicotero) to go and rescue the children. Jake takes Laura and Zane aboard and the boat gets stuck in the rocky soil.

The piranhas attack by hundreds the stupid young people and a general panic ensues when it's too late and some of them have already been killed. When the survivors are out of the water, Jake phones his mother to tell her that the Barracuda is sinking. She runs with a small boat in their rescue. She throws a bit of rope to go to the Barracuda in the rocks.

Kelly (Jessica Szohr) is imprisoned in one of the cabin. Kelly is Jake's love interest. Julie wants everybody to leave the Barracuda and then she'll come back for Kelly. The piranhas can jump a little out of the water so they kill another of the girls but Zane, Laura and Julie reach the safety of the smaller boat. The pole to which the rope has been tied breaks, but it gets stuck in some of the railings of the Barracuda.

Jake's got a plan to rescue Kelly, who's inside the cabin hitting the jumping-out-of-the-water piranhas with a frying pan.

Jake throws Derrick's half-dead gory body to distract the piranhas. He swims tied to the rope to the cabin where Kelly's in. Then, he tells his mother and Fallon to pull them out. The boat does not work, so there are the typical seconds of emotion until Kelly and Jake are pulled out. All the piranhas follow them but the explosion Jake has created kill the piranhas anyway while Jake and Kelly are pulled out of the water and into the boat unharmed.

Julie talks to Goodman by radio and he tells them that the piranha she had left with him at his home is not fully developed, it's a baby. Everybody hears it and Fallon asks, "The babies? So where are the parents?" At that moment a huge piranha the size of half a peson jumps out of the water and eats him.
