What’re they about? 

A giant Great White shark attacks the beaches of holiday locale Amity Island. 

Police Chief Martin Brody, a young oceanographer, Matt Hooper and grizzled sea dog Quint fight the shark in a battle to the death. 

A few years later a larger, hungrier shark with a taste for fast food (water skiers) arrives and once again Chief Brody must face his fears, battle the beast and save his son. 

 

“…But I'm telling you, and I'm telling everybody at this table that that's a shark! And I know what a shark looks like, because I've seen one up close. And you'd better do something about this one, because I don't intend to go through that hell again!”
