When a young woman goes missing while swimming off the coast, Police Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) discovers her severed remains and suspects a shark attack. Brody urges the closure of Amity Beach to protect the public, but Mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) refuses, fearing economic loss. As more victims fall prey to the deadly predator, panic grips the community. In response, fisherman Quint (Robert Shaw) demands $10,000 to hunt the Great White Shark, while oceanographer Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) joins the mission to track down the beast terrorizing the island.
