In this episode of the Video Vault, I take a look at the 1975 masterpiece that is Jaws.

Based on Peter Benchley's best selling novel of the same name, Jaws was written by Carl Gottlieb and Peter Benchley, and directed by Steven Spielberg. Jaws is about the small Island community of Amity that has come under siege by a giant, killer, Great White Shark. It is up to Police Chief Martin Brody, Oceanographer Matt Hooper and Shark Hunter known only as "Quint" must band together in the ultimate tale of man vs beast.

Jaws has an amazing cast including Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss, Jaws went on to become known as the first "Summer Blockbuster" grossing over $140,000,000 dollars during it's theatrical run (which in 1975 had never been done before).

Well acted, beautifully shot and an incredible script Jaws would give birth to what we know as the modern "creature feature"
