Five years after the East Coast was ravaged in 'Sharknado 3,' Fin and his family have been blissfully sharknado-free, but now sharks - and 'nados. - are being whipped up in places (and ways) that are completely unexpected.IMDB description
Plot[]
The movie opens with a Star Wars text crawl. Set five years after Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, Fin is living in Kansas with his mom Raye and his son Gil. Finn travels to Las Vegas to meet Gemini, Matt, and his oldest son. Matt and his fiancé get married. Billionaire Aston Reynolds has created a high-tech way to contain the sharknados. Unfortunately the new technology fails and Fin must save the day (again). It is revealed that April is alive and has been turned into a bionic woman (unbeknownst to Fin). With a bouldernado approaching, the group hits up a chainsaw store to gather supplies. Surviving all of the different nados, the gang heads back to Kansas where Fin picks up the ultimate chainsaw weapon. April and Fin are reunited. They group heads to Niagara Falls where they must face a nuclearnado. There Fin and his family get eaten by Sharks but are saved by Little Gil who uses a chainsaw to cut their way out of the sharks' belly. Fin escapes but is unconscious and is revived by April using two baby sharks as defibrillators. In the post credit end scene it is revealed that Aston is alive.
