The phenomenon of the summer blockbuster has allured audiences to the movies for decades. When it comes to the original summer blockbuster though, many attribute the 1975 Steven Spielberg directed thriller Jaws to be the film that started it all.
The story is rather simple. A man-eating shark begins terrorizing the residents of a peaceful, coastal town called Amity Island. As a result, the police chief, a marine biologist, and a shark hunter embark on a mission to find the killer shark. On this quest, the three ultimately face their fears for they are alone amongst each other, searching for a shark that can literally consume them all.
