JAWS
A small coastal town, a mysterious attack and a fin that occasionally breaks the surface of the water. What begins as a series of unexplained incidents soon spirals into a full-blown nightmare for the residents of Amity Island. When the threat can no longer be ignored, the hunt begins—for an enemy lurking just out of sight.
With Jaws, Steven Spielberg elevated the thriller genre to new heights in 1975. The real tension lies not in what you see, but in what you don’t see. This film wasn’t just a massive box office success—it marked a turning point in film history. Spielberg broke away from traditional storytelling and introduced something entirely new: the birth of the modern blockbuster.
