Saturday Matinee: Jaws

COMING SOON TO A LIBRARY NEAR YOU!
Join us at the Bedford Central Library for a monthly Saturday afternoon screening of a movie for adults and teens. 

This month in honor of our Oceans of Possibilities Summer Reading Program we will be showing the classic picture Jaws starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton, and more.

Plot: 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 (Roy Scheider) wants to close the beaches, but mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) overrules him, fearing that the loss of tourist revenue will cripple the town. Ichthyologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and grizzled ship captain Quint (Robert Shaw) offer to help Brody capture the killer beast, and the trio engages in an epic battle of man vs. nature.

Rated: PG

Run Time: 2 Hours, 4 Minutes
