From the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley, Steven Spielberg directed this thrill ride of terror. During the height of beach season, the Massachusetts resort town of Amity...

Three unlikely partners team up to hunt down the rogue and destroy it: the new chief of police from New York (Roy Scheider), a young university-educated oceanographer (Richard Dreyfuss), and a crusty old-time fisherman (Robert Shaw). The film shoot was notoriously difficult for the young Spielberg, who had directed only one feature film before JAWS. The mechanical shark seldom operated correctly, and Spielberg was frequently forced to create the idea of terror without actually showing the shark. However, after the film premiered it went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time--surpassing THE GODFATHER and becoming the first film to gross more than one million dollars. Composer John Williams created the score to JAWS, which has since become a well-known theme of impending doom. Ron and Valerie Taylor were responsible for filming live sharks in Australia; their sequences were later mixed with footage of the mechanical shark.

This film is BRILLIANT. I loved it in the cinema and on video - now on DVD the picture and sound is 10X better than before!!
The storyline is still brilliant even after all these years and the actors performance still convincing.
This has got to be Spielbergs all time classic movie which in my opinion he has never bettered. The sheer watchability of this film proves this - I personally have seen this 10 + times and have never grown tired of it - that is the mark of a classic movie.
As if the movie wasn't enough by itself the extras are also brilliant - the 50 minute documentary is really interesting and you get to see some things never shown before.
I recommend that EVERYONE buys this as it's a must have in your collection - GO BUY IT NOW!!
