Jaws is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Peter Benchley's 1974 novel of the same name. It stars Roy Scheider as Police Chief Martin Brody, Richard Dreyfuss as oceanographer Matt Hooper, Robert Shaw as shark hunter Quint, and Lorraine Gary as Brody's wife, Ellen. In the film, a giant man-eating great white shark terrorizes the fictional island resort of Amity, Long Island. The police chief, a marine biologist, and a grizzled shark hunter attempt to track down the creature and destroy it. The film's success propelled the careers of both Spielberg and actor Dreyfuss and turned the previously unknown actor Scheider into a major star. It earned four Academy Awards in total, including Best Picture and Best Score. Jaws is often considered the first summer blockbuster and remains one of the highest-grossing films of all time when adjusted for inflation.
