About

In the summer of 1975, terror gripped the nation as a 25-foot great white shark captured the world and Jaws made sure nobody ever felt safe going into the water again. Jaws was a huge success, breaking all existing box office records and grossing $470 million dollars worldwide. The film made director Steven Spielberg a superstar, won three Oscars and inspired numerous imitations and countless shark phobias. Jaws: The Inside Story celebrates the classic movie, looking back at the film's origins, the adaptation of a bestselling book to the first real summer blockbuster, and how Spielberg broke new ground in filming on location, despite months of setbacks.
