If you’re still a fan of physical media, like me, Universal just put out an anniversary edition of Jaws on 4K and Blu-Ray.

Jaws set the standard for edge-of-your-seat suspense, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon and forever changing the movie industry 50 years ago on June 20, 1975. 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. Featuring an unforgettable score that evokes pure terror, five decades later. Universal Pictures’ and Steven Spielberg’s Jaws remains one of the most influential and gripping adventures in motion picture history.

Stream it 6/15, Own it 6/17, then remember to Watch it on Peacock on Friday, June 20 at 8PM ET/PT for the special anniversary screening of Jaws with special guest Steven Spielberg. Use the hashtag #Jaws50 if you post on social media so you can interact with other Jaws fans who are celebrating this monumental event just like you.
