Derived from an actual event that took place in New Jersey during the early 20th century, a series of shark attacks shattered the tranquility of the once peaceful New Jersey shore, instilling terror among the locals and triggering a panic that served as the inspiration for author Peter Benchley to pen the iconic novel, Jaws.
