Jaws
Jaws: The shark that terrorises a seaside town
A closer look at the story
Amity is a small seaside resort that depends on the money summer tourists bring in. When a deadly shark attack takes place on its beach, the town's mayor plays it down and tries to cover it up to save the holiday season. Once further attacks follow, however, ignoring the truth becomes impossible. Police chief Brody, young marine biologist Hooper and Quint, a hardened shark hunter, head out to open water to kill the great white before it strikes again. Steven Spielberg directs this adaptation of Peter Benchley's book; the 124-minute 1975 film stars Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss in a classic thriller.
