The famous scene of the naked bather being eaten alive by a shark sets the tone for the swathe of blood and limbs that spreads across Steven Spielberg's classic nail-biting chiller. Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw are ideal as the grouchy trio who set out to hunt the shark and author Peter Benchley has a cameo as a journalist. Winner of Oscars for John Williams's score, editing and sound.
