A Landmark Anniversary for the Classic Thriller

Steven Spielberg’s Jaws changed cinema forever when it hit theaters in 1975. Widely credited as the original summer blockbuster, the film terrified audiences and redefined the suspense genre. Now, half a century later, fans both old and new can experience the terror all over again with a high-definition release.

Jaws was based on Peter Benchley’s novel of the same name and became a cultural phenomenon. Its iconic score by John Williams, the unforgettable performances by Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw, along with Spielberg’s masterful tension-building, turned it into an enduring piece of pop culture history.
