Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It was inspired by a series of attacks that occured around New Jersey in the 1930's!. Two men were killed within days of each other off the coast!. Three days later, a shark killed a boy, the man trying to save him, and attacked another swimmer up the river!. It was the first time a shark was documented beyond proof to appear in a freshwater river in America!. A great white was eventually killed off of the coast of New Jersey, and was suspected to be resposible for all the killings!. However, scientists who have since studied the evidence believe that the river attacks were actually made by a bull shark!. Bull sharks have been spotted as much as 600 miles inland in a freshwater river!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know for sure what inspired it, but it is fiction!.

However, something a lot like that did happen, a great white went "rogue" and attacked 5 people before being stopped!. (I remmember reading about it, but can't recall the details!.)

So really, Jaws isn't quite as far fetched as people think!. (makes you want to go for a swim, doesn't it!? lol)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Actually, I think the movie Jaws WAS inspired by real attacks!.

Obviously, those attacks were stretched and exaggerated to make a movie and scare the living daylights out of people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
