Audiences in the UK can now stream Steven Spielberg’s iconic Jaws in their own homes.
This summer marks 50 years since Jaws first terrorised cinema audiences, transforming the film industry and beach holidays forever.
Released in 1975, Steven Spielberg’s breakout thriller is widely credited with inventing the modern summer blockbuster, proving that audiences were hungry for big, suspense-filled Entertainment during the warmer months.
The legendary movie followed a star-studded cast led by Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw, as a team on the hunt for a terrifying great white shark after it attacked beachgoers.
The film grossed more than $475million worldwide, and has gone down as one of the biggest blockbusters of all time.
Now, half a century later, the appetite for Jaws hasn’t waned.
The iconic shark thriller is being honoured with special screenings, retrospectives, and a wave of fans looking to relive the fear from the comfort of their homes.

It’s also available to rent or buy on platforms including Apple TV and the Sky Store, for those looking for a one-off watch or to add it permanently to their digital library.
