Jaws is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Peter Benchley's novel of the same name. The police chief of Amity Island, a fictional summer resort town, tries to protect beachgoers from a giant man-eating great white shark by closing the beach, only to be overruled by the town council, which wants the beach to remain open to draw a profit from tourists during the summer season. After several attacks, the police chief enlists the help of a marine biologist and a professional shark hunter. Roy Scheider stars as police chief Martin Brody, Richard Dreyfuss as marine biologist Matt Hooper, Robert Shaw as shark hunter Sam Quint, Murray Hamilton as the Mayor of Amity Island, and Lorraine Gary as Brody's wife, Ellen.

"dun-dun, dun-dun, dun-dun, dun-dun..."
1975 was a great year, I was born and Americans were being eaten by a big great white shark!
Spielberg classic. Amazing performances by Scheider, Dreyfuss and Shaw. "we're gonna need a bigger boat" ... "here's to swimming with bare naked women".
Is there anyone who has not seen Jaws??
"smile you son of a b..."
