Last Updated on July 30, 2021

This June marks the 45th anniversary of the release of Steven Spielberg's JAWS, the "first ever summer blockbuster" and one of the greatest movies of all time, and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced that they're celebrating the occasion with a JAWS 45th Anniversary Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD / Blu-ray / Digital combo pack.

Directed by Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg, JAWS set the standard for edge-of-your-seat suspense, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon. When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark, the town’s chief of police (Roy Scheider), a young marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a grizzled shark hunter (Robert Shaw) embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again.
