Jaws

Jaws tells the story of a giant great white shark which terrorises the fictional England resort town of Amity Island. Steven Spielberg directed this 1975 American thriller about the hunt for a killer shark, which was inspired by a series of actual shark attacks along the New Jersey shoreline in 1916. While some critics were critical of the film's casting and soundtrack, Jaws became one of the highest-grossing films of all time and is regarded as a classic among motion-picture thrillers.
