Spielberg's drive, passion and instinct is heavily reflected on the screen. His fight against the odds to make one of the greatest films of all time...

Piranha wasn't just riding on Jaws' coattails, it was made by people who genuinely loved the genre. Roger Corman brought in John Sayles to write a script with real wit, and a young Joe Dante directed it with the kind of affection for B-movies that would define his whole career.

Undeniable... this is the GOAT of jumpscares What keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, even when they know exactly what's coming? Jaws Explored explains how a jumpscare holds up fifty years later.

Quint talks the town up from $3000 to $10000. Adjusted for inflation, that bounty is worth somewhere around $60000 today, and yet nobody mentions the reward again after he takes the job. What would you have charged?

More than 40 years after Jaws, audiences are still showing up for a big shark on the big screen. The Meg is proof the fascination never faded, it just found new ways to have fun with it.

Spielberg has talked about how the shark's mechanical failures reshaped Jaws entirely. In his words, it went from "a Japanese Saturday matinee horror flick" to "more of a Hitchcock, the less-you-see-the-more-you-get thriller." He wasn't being modest.

Look closely at the Brody house in the opening act and you'll spot a broken swing set in the yard, the one Michael cuts his hand on. It reads like a throwaway detail, but it might be the film quietly foreshadowing what's coming. What do you think it's really doing there?

Not just the 'how' but the 'why'... Jaws Explored goes beyond the trivia to explain why this film still gets under your skin.

A theory worth sitting with: Quint's aggression on the Orca might not be bravado, it might be trauma. Once you hear his Indianapolis speech as the key to everything he does afterward, his choices on that boat start to look very different. See him differently now?

Jordan Peele on the technique he borrowed from Jaws: "It's the Jaws rule, right? Don't show that monster until late."

Tackle a monster, tackle a myth. Jaws Explored unpacks how a killer-shark movie became something much bigger.

Steven Spielberg on why Jaws still works: "Jaws is scary because of what you don't see, not because of what you do. We need to bring the audience back into partnership with storytelling."

The greatest voices in cinema talking about the greatest film ever made 🦈 Jaws Explored brings those voices together to explain exactly why it still holds up.

Look closely at Dennis Nedry's computer monitor in Jurassic Park and you'll catch Jaws playing in the background, a little easter egg from Spielberg himself.

Long before Jaws, Creature from the Black Lagoon was already proving a monster you barely see is scarier than one you do. Jaws Explored tracks how a decades-old trick got refined into something even scarier.

Steven Soderbergh on what Jaws means to him: "Every time I look at it, it gets better and is even more of an achievement than when it came out."

Quint dies trying to collect his own bounty, so once the shark is dead, who actually gets paid? Does Brody claim it, does he split it with Hooper, or does the town just quietly keep the money? Who do you think ends up with it?

We all remember where we were when first witnessing this harrowing opening sequence...

Ridley Scott kept his monster hidden for as long as possible in Alien, the same restraint that made Jaws work four years earlier... Jaws Explored considers the restraint that made this technique work in the first place.
