    30th Anniversary Edition 2 Disc Widescreen From the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley, Steven Spielberg directe
 
 
    From the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley, Steven Spielberg directed this thrill ride of terror. During the height of beach season, the Massachusetts resort town of Amity Island is terrorized one summer by surprise attacks from a great white shark. Three unlikely partners team up to hunt down the rogue and destroy it: the new chief of police from New York (Roy Scheider), a young university-educated oceanographer (Richard Dreyfuss), and a crusty old-time fisherman (Robert Shaw). The film shoot was notoriously difficult for the young Spielberg, who had directed only one feature film before JAWS. The mechanical shark seldom operated correctly, and Spielberg was frequently forced to create the idea of terror without actually showing the shark. However, after the film premiered it went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time--surpassing THE GODFATHER and becoming the first film to gross more than a hundred million dollars. Composer John Williams created the score to JAWS, which has since become a well-known theme of impending doom. Ron and Valerie Taylor were responsible for filming live sharks in Australia; their sequences were later mixed with footage of the mechanical shark.

Jaws Excellence

danielj316 from Nacogdoches, TX, Nov 10, 2007

This most recent dvd release of the Spielberg classic, Jaws, is presented in the best manner yet. It comes with an excellent transfer and 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound. So it looks and sounds great. The extras on the second disc are excellent as well. They are very comprehensive as they relate to the creation and the influence of the film. This dvd is a must own for any Spielberg or Jaws fan!
