Documentary revealing the stories of how lives and the natural world were significantly influenced by Steven Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster. While the film helped the careers of its stars and creators, and influenced the way films were made with innovations in directing, scoring and special effects, it also led to the near-disappearance of sharks from the east coast of the United States. At the same time, public fascination with sharks led to a golden age of shark science that changed our view of the ocean, and spurred a global conservation effort whose earliest champion was Jaws author Peter Benchley.
