Summer on Amity Island, a small community whose main business is the beach. When new sheriff Martin Brody found the bodies of shark attack victims, his first tendency was to cover the beach with swimmers. This is not in line with Mayor Larry Vaughn and some local businessmen. Brody pulls back when a predator kills a boy over the weekend. The mother of the dead boy gives a gift to the shark and Amity is soon filled with amateur hunters and fishermen hoping to receive a gift. A local fisherman with a lot of experience in shark hunting, Quint offers to hunt the animal at a high price. Soon, Quint, Brody and Matt Hooper of the Oceanographic Institute are looking for white sharks. As Brody briefly explained after their first encounter with the beast, they needed a larger ship. garykmcd
