"Jaws" (1975) is a classic horror/thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Peter Benchley's novel of the same name. It follows Police Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) as he attempts to protect the beachgoers of Amity Island from an enormous great white shark. With the help of a marine biologist, Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), and a professional shark hunter, Quint (Robert Shaw), Brody races against time to stop the shark before it can wreak further havoc on the island. The film is renowned for its iconic score by composer John Williams, as well as its groundbreaking special effects that made viewers believe they were actually seeing a real shark on screen. It remains one of the most influential films of all time and was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 1999.
