Which 1975 film features a giant shark terrorizing the fictional Amity Island?

Show answer

Jaws

Directed by Steven Spielberg, Jaws is widely considered the first modern 'summer blockbuster' due to its massive commercial success. Interestingly, the mechanical shark used in the film frequently broke down, which forced the crew to use suspenseful music and point-of-view shots to represent the shark's presence instead of showing it.
