Steven Spielberg
Steven Spielberg is an American film screenwriter, director, producer and studio entrepreneur. His films have spanned from sci-fi to historical, over the course of 4 decades. He is considered to be one of the most influential filmmakers in history. In total, his films have grossed over $8.5 billion, and his personal estimated worth is $3.2. Spielberg has won Academy awards for best director for Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's list.
Jaws
Jaws is the story of a great white shark attacking a summer resort town, prompting the local police chief to hunt the shark, with help from a marine biologist and a shark hunter. Jaws was the highest grossing film at the time, earning $470.7 million worldwide. The film is often named as one of the best films of all time, and was even selected for preservation at the National Film Registry.
However, the film had problems during production, such as going over budget and over schedule. As well as this, there were several malfunctions with mechanical sharks, but Spielberg suggested implying the shark was there, rather than filming, and along with John Williams' musical score, this was an effective aspect of the film.
