Police Chief Martin Brody is new to Amity Island when a young woman is found dead on the beach, her body destroyed. The medical examiner says shark. The mayor, protecting tourist season, pushes Brody to rule it a boating accident. More attacks follow, including a boy killed in the harbor in front of witnesses. The town authorizes a hunt. Marine biologist Matt Hooper arrives and confirms the animal is a great white of extraordinary size. Brody hires grizzled shark hunter Quint, whose boat the Orca takes the three men out to sea. Quint shares his history: he survived the USS Indianapolis sinking in 1945, floating in shark-infested water for four days while men were taken one by one. The shark is larger and more aggressive than anything documented — it destroys the Orca's hull. Quint is dragged off the deck and killed. Brody, alone and sinking, forces a compressed air scuba tank into the shark's mouth and shoots it from the top of the mast as the boat goes under. The tank explodes. The shark is destroyed. Brody and Hooper swim to shore.
