Jaws

Steven Spielberg
RELEASE Thu 28 Aug

What if the real threat is invisible, lurking deep beneath the surface, and you only realize it when it’s already too late? In Jaws, Steven Spielberg pushes suspense to the breaking point. A film that not only terrified audiences but also changed the world of cinema forever. 

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.

Twan Arts explains why this film is so much more than just a horror story about a shark.
