Jaws
The terrifying motion picture from the terrifying No. 1 best seller.
Directed by Steven Spielberg
Produced by The Zanuck/Brown Company, Universal Pictures
A masterfully suspenseful creature-feature that builds dread through restraint and isolation, anchored by the bonds between three men hunting an unstoppable predator.
When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark, the town's chief of police, a young marine biologist, and a grizzled shark hunter embark on a desperate quest to kill the beast before it strikes again.
