Plot: Big shark (Great White variety) trawls through the waters off the vacationers paradise of Amity Island (like Cleethorpes...with sunshine), comes across people and promptly sets about having a snack (clearly fish are too insubstantial for Jaws, as he's a rather large shark), but there's this New York cop (Roy Scheider) who, along with a scientist fella (Richard Dreyfuss) and a sea fairing captain (Robert Shaw) will stop at nothing to arrest his man, Shark, whatever...even if it means overcoming his fear of the big blue sea.
The original summer blockbuster,
Jaws to date has raked in over $450,00,000...that's off the back of a $12,000,000 budget.
Fun Fact: The shark (nicknamed Bruce) broke down more than it ever worked (everyone knows that). Charlton Heston and Robert Duvall were both almost cast, except Heston was bigger than the shark (character-wise I mean-not fat or anything) and Duvall didn't wanna be the cop, he wanted to be Quint (the captain).
