💨 Abstract

Steven Spielberg experienced a severe panic attack during the filming of "Jaws," feeling responsible for the crew and facing numerous setbacks, including issues with the mechanical shark. Despite the film's massive success and critical acclaim, Spielberg suffered PTSD-like symptoms, including nightmares and anxiety, for years. "Jaws" significantly impacted his life, leaving him traumatized but also enormously successful.
