LOS ANGELES - More than 40 years ago, Americans were afraid to go into the water as Jaws scared the daylights out of a generation of ocean swimmers.

Hollywood is hoping for a repeat this summer with the movie 47 Meters Down. There have been more than 50 shark movies since Steven Spielberg made cinematic history with Jaws in 1975.

This year's shark movie, which will open in the United States on Friday, takes place almost entirely underwater.
