Rated:

Peter Benchley's pulp bestseller turns into the scariest sea saga ever filmed, thanks to diector Steven Spielberg creating maximum suspense in the first dark moments and then maintaining the momentum With brilliant sleight-of-hand direction.

The tale of a Great White shark invading a New England resort and the modern-day Captain Arab (Robert Shaw) employed by the stricken community to kill it is now a classic of the horror adventure genre.

John Williams's Oscar-winning music and excellent performances from Roy Schneider and Roy Scheider add to the ingeniously mounted tension, cleverly playing on all our deepest primeval fears.

Contains violence, mild swearing and brief nudity.
