ABOUT
Jaws is a 1975 American thriller directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Peter Benchley's 1974 novel. The film stars Roy Scheider as Chief Martin Brody, who teams up with a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a seasoned shark hunter (Robert Shaw) to track down a great white shark terrorizing beachgoers in a New England coastal town. Murray Hamilton portrays the town's mayor, while Lorraine Gary plays Brody’s wife. The screenplay was initially penned by Benchley and later revised by actor and screenwriter Carl Gottlieb during the filming process.

Production took place primarily on location at Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, between May and October 1974. As the first major motion picture shot on the open ocean, the shoot encountered numerous setbacks, including mechanical issues with the shark prop that resulted in significant delays and budget overruns. Spielberg opted to imply the shark’s presence rather than show it directly, a choice that heightened suspense and was supported by John Williams' iconic, minimalist score. This approach has often been compared to the style of Alfred Hitchcock.

Jaws premiered on over 450 screens—an extensive release at the time—and was backed by a groundbreaking marketing campaign that included heavy TV advertising and merchandising. The film redefined summer movie releases and became the highest-grossing film of all time until Star Wars debuted in 1977. It won multiple awards for its editing and music and is widely credited with launching the summer blockbuster era. Though followed by three sequels without Spielberg or Benchley’s involvement, the original film remains a landmark in cinema. In 2001, the Library of Congress added Jaws to the National Film Registry for its cultural and historical significance.
