Jaws 3-D

Watch Dennis Quaid work — the performance is a masterclass in restraint. Available now on Peacock Premium — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Jaws 3-D keeps coming up in conversation. The plotting gives Jaws 3-D its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. A giant thirty-five-foot shark becomes trapped in a SeaWorld theme park and it's up to the sons of police chief Brody to rescue everyone. Credit to Dennis Quaid and Bess Armstrong for grounding it — this is a cast that earns the twists. It hit screens in 1983. The plot mechanics of Jaws 3-D never overwhelm the human cost underneath them. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Jaws 3-D delivers. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Watch Dennis Quaid work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.
