Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the film which helped coin the term 'Summer Blockbuster'! Academy Award-winner Steven Spielberg was only twenty-six years old when he directed Jaws, a movie that changed the way audiences experienced movies by setting the standard for edge-of-your-seat suspense.
Based on a novel by Peter Benchley, Jaws was a massive box office success, becoming the highest grossing movie in history. Jaws won three Academy Awards: Best Film Editing, Best Original Dramatic Score, and Best Sound. In 2001, the Library of Congress selected Jaws for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
