Based on Peter Benchley's novel, this blockbuster movie is about a shark that terrorizes the resort community of Amity Island. While Mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) is determined to keep the beaches open, the shark dines on its victims. Now the safety of those on Amity Island lies in the hands of Police Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), ichthyologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), and fisherman Quint (Robert Shaw). They board Quint's boat "The Orca" and hunt down the deadly creature. The filmmakers do a superior job of building suspense with music, camera angles, and a shark that doesn't appear until 82 minutes into the film. All performances add to the success of this classic film. The film won Oscars for Best Film Editing, Original Musical Score, and Sound–and was nominated for Best Picture.
