A new police chief teams with a cocky young
icthyologist and a sea-worn shark fisherman to hunt and destroy a
monstrous 25-foot great white shark that is terrorizing the beaches of
Amity Island. Director Steven Spielberg brings Peter Benchley's
best-selling novel to the screen with stunning power and unbearable
suspense. One of the greatest box-office attractions in motion picture
history, "Jaws" left an indelible mark upon the movie-going
(and beach-going!) public, distilling a sea of fear from these five
words: "Don't go in the water."
