Celebrate 50 Years of Jaws on Peacock
You’re gonna need a bigger boat! Toast to five decades of the killer shark saga.
Da dum... da dum... da dum, da dum, da dum.... These two iconic musical notes changed the Hollywood game, setting the standard for movie tension, pure terror, and edge-of-your-seat suspense — and it’s all thanks to Jaws.
Originally released in theaters on June 20, 1975, Jaws was one of the first summer movie blockbusters. Directed by a then-unknown Steven Spielberg from the bestselling novel Peter Benchley, the shark disaster film catapulted Spielberg’s career into a new stratosphere after setting box office records and becoming a cultural phenomenon that’s still being talked about five decades later. Featuring an unforgettable score by legendary composer John Williams, Jaws remains one of the most influential and gripping thrillers in movie history.
The original Jaws won a slew of awards, including three Academy Awards (Best Original Score, Best Film Editing, and Best Sound), one Golden Globe (Best Original Score), one Grammy (Best Score Written for Visual Media), and one BAFTA (Best Original Music). It was also nominated for a Best Picture Oscar.
In the classic 1975 movie, the action picks up when a great white shark terrorizes a summer resort town named Amity, bringing Police Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), marine biologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss), and grizzled shark hunter Quint (Robert Shaw) on an epic battle to destroy the beast before it strikes again.
