Ein weißer Hai terrorisiert eine Badeinsel an der amerikanischen Atlantikküste. Besonnene Einheimische unter Führung von Polizeichef Brody wollen alle Strände schließen und zur großen Jagd blasen, während die Schar der Kaufleute und Gastwirte angesichts der einträglichen Badesaison lieber zur Tagesordnung übergeht und sich damit auch durchsetzt. Als der Hai erneut zuschlägt, bildet Brody mit dem erfahrenen Haifänger Quint und dem Ozeanologen Hooper ein Jagd-Team und rückt dem Gegner auf See zu Leibe.
