Displays document on-set challenges including mechanical shark failures, weather, and strong currents that threatened production. The presentation highlights key collaborators such as Peter Benchley, Carl Gottlieb, Bill Butler, Verna Fields, and John Williams. The exhibition emphasizes the collaborative nature of motion picture production.
