June 1975. Millions of moviegoers flooded theaters. They clung to their seats, startled as a big Godzilla-style shark incited bigger fear. A young Steven Spielberg directed part monster thriller, part deadly chase. It does for ocean water what Hitchcock’s “Psycho” did for showers.

With a relentless soundtrack.

Frightening. Exhilarating. Unforgettable.
