The film
When a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Long Island, a local sheriff, a marine biologist and a grizzled old sea captain team up to hunt the beast down, engaging in an epic battle of man vs. nature. The thriller released in June of 1975 became the first true summer blockbuster and won three Academy Awards, including one for John Williams’ iconic score.
