Fifty years after its original release, Stephen Spielberg's razor-sharp thriller, starring Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw, remains as nerve-jangling as ever. Adapted from Peter Benchley's best-selling novel and incorporating John Williams' iconic score, the film is a masterclass in suspense, proving that what we don't see is just as terrifying as what's on screen. Jaws went on to define the contemporary Hollywood blockbuster.
⁠
A RMIT cinema studies academic will open the screening, explaining the film's historical significance and how it shaped cinema.

For long-time fans or curious first‑timers, experience Jaws on the grand scale it deserves at RMIT's Capitol cinema.
