Following a fatal shark attack near Amity Island, a New England tourist town, police chief Martin Brody wants to close beaches to prevent further attacks, but he is overruled by mayor Larry Vaughn, who fears of the town losing tourist revenue. That leaves the job of capturing the man-eating great white shark to the police chief, with the help of marine biologist Matt Hooper, and Quint, a professional shark hunter.
