Jaws12A

Directed by Steven Spielberg | USA | 1975 | 2h 4m | Starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton

When a young woman is killed by a shark while skinny-dipping near the New England tourist town of Amity Island, Police Chief Martin Brody wants to close the beaches. However, the town’s mayor has other plans, instead opting to employ a scientist and a grizzled fisherman to help Brody catch and kill the blood-thirsty creature. Steven Spielberg laid the template for the modern summer blockbuster with this masterfully constructed thriller, complete with nerve-wracking set-pieces and a truly iconic score.

Reviews

‘A sensationally effective action picture, a scary thriller that works all the better because it’s populated with characters that have been developed into human beings we get to know and care about.’
★★★★★
Roger Ebert

‘It’s no wonder a generation of holidaymakers still thinks twice before stepping into the water.’
★★★★★
Tom Huddlestone, Time Out

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
