Shark eats people, scares little town, crew of three go out to hunt and kill it. It was simple and it worked, but I don't know how much time and care was put into the story.

The plot may have been simple, but it was executed in an extremely captivating manner. Jaws had great dialogue ("You're gonna need a bigger boat") and compelling characterization, such as Quint's re-telling of his experience surviving the
USS Indianapolis.
