When a young swimmer is found devoured on the coast of the quiet summer town of Amity, police chief Martin Brody suspects a great white shark is stalking its waters, but the mayor refuses to close the beaches at the height of the season. After further attacks, Brody sets out to sea in a small boat alongside marine biologist Matt Hooper and the grizzled hunter Quint to hunt down the beast. What begins as a threat becomes a desperate, claustrophobic fight against a colossal predator. A landmark of suspense crafted by Spielberg that ushered in the very concept of the blockbuster.
