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 hunter embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again.

There isn’t an ounce of dead wood in it; it is the sum total of thousands of ‘effects’ (special and otherwise) tested and tuned to produce the desired response in the audience. Jaws is a landmark of modem cinematic engineering.

This is a suspense classic that leaves teeth-marks.
