Movie Overview

In the quiet coastal town of Amity Island, a massive great white shark begins a terrifying killing spree, turning the summer paradise into a blood-soaked nightmare. Police Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) wants to close the beaches, but the town's mayor refuses, fearing economic ruin. As the attacks escalate, Brody teams up with oceanographer Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and grizzled shark hunter Quint (Robert Shaw) to hunt down the monstrous predator in a deadly battle of man vs. nature.
